Wolf

Classical pianist playing at a gathering in the short story "Music" by Vladimir Nabokov. It was written and published in 1932.

Wolf had long, fair eyelashes; his translucent ears were of a delicate crimson hue; he struck the keys with extraordinary velocity and vigor and, in the lacquered depths of the open keyboard lid, the doubles of his hands were engaged in a ghostly, intricate, even somewhat clownish mimicry.
