christoph koncz
at the orphanage, the violin comes into the possession of kaspar weiss, a young but brilliant violin prodigy. the monks at the orphanage ask a violin instructor, poussin, to adopt the boy to further his development. poussin brings weiss and the violin to vienna. they learn that prince mannsfeld is visiting vienna and is looking for a prodigy to accompany him back to prussia, promising a generous reward. poussin puts weiss through a strict practice regimen. however, the regimens and "poussin meter" (a primitive metronome) take a toll on weiss' heart defect. on the day of the recital, as he starts playing, weiss's heart gives out from the stress and he collapses, dead.
