Interesting. From the description, this looks like a rewrite of Thomas Bernhard's "Woodcutters," swapping Vienna for New York and music for visual art. The narrator even sits in the same chair the whole time, just like in Bernhard's novel.
Thanks, Sophia. There's a lot here and I enjoyed a reread as soon as I finished the first time around. The discussion of the party reminded me of the song The Party's Over: "It's time to wind up / The masquerade / Just make your mind up / The piper must be paid."
