The Red Priest's Treasure Trove

A Case File from The Redacted Sherlock Holmes

It is 1927. Dr. Watson is in his surgery when there is an unexpected knock at the door.

It is Sherlock Holmes, who explains that he has arranged a meeting with an Italian musicologist, Alberto Gentili, who has found some long-lost autograph manuscripts of the almost unknown 18th century Venetian composer, Antonio Vivaldi. Gentili explains how the manuscripts represent only half of a larger collection. He wants to find the other half before someone else finds it and disperses the collection.

Holmes's investigation into this mystery enables him to provide an unexpected solution of a separate mystery about Johann Sebastian Bach.

Musical Mystery

A different type of story involving a musical mystery. Interesting even if you are not a music expert (but if you are, you should really enjoy it).
