"The Music of Erich Zann" by H. P. Lovecraft

THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN was first published in the March 1922 edition of The National Amateur. In a shadowed quarter of a mysterious Old World city, a poor student takes lodgings in a crooked house on the Rue d’Auseil and becomes entranced by the strange nocturnal music of his neighbour: an aged, reclusive viol-player named Erich Zann.
