Unfinished Symphony - Family Question

Sándor Márai was a citizen of the world, a writer who dealt with questions of our private lives. His one-act plays, which examine the disappearing world of middle-class values, offer subtle portrayals of Europe, grand ideas, and the lives of everyday people. One finds in both stories a constellation characteristic of Márai’s oeuvre: a love triangle one of the figures of which is an aging man. In Unfinished Symphony, an American and a European woman meet sometime after the Second World War. The brilliant composer, who is composing the European symphony which is awaited eagerly the world over, is somewhere in the background. The family question concerns the last will and testament of the aging man and his one-time love, as well as what is presumably their last meeting.
