Reverberation

by Violet Sinclair

Iris Vahlbruch lost her hearing at twenty-six, three weeks before her debut with the Berlin Philharmonic. Six years later she teaches at a Boston conservatory, plays barefoot so she can feel the wood, and has not let anyone close to her cello — or to her — since the conductor she was going to marry decided she was no longer the woman he'd loved.

Aleksander Brandt has been writing music for the dead since he was nine years old. He hasn't spoken easily to a stranger in nearly three decades. When the conservatory commissions him to compose a cello piece for Iris's centenary recital, he comes to her with a Moleskine instead of a voice and a third movement he cannot finish.

What the Wood Remembers

by Violet Sinclair

Margherita Conti makes violins in a converted shepherd's hut above Cortina d'Ampezzo. She has been Deaf for fifteen years. Before that she was a violinist herself — the kind of student conservatories build their seasons around — and she has not spoken to another musician since the night her hearing went, except to refuse them. She works alone, sells through one dealer, and answers her own letters by candlelight in a language no one in the valley reads.

Lior Adelman writes to her in November, on heavy paper, in handwriting that suggests he is used to being answered. He is forty-six concerts away from his last. The world believes the Carnegie date in October is a special occasion. The truth is in his left hand, and in the small white pills he keeps in a tin he no longer hides from himself. He wants Margherita to build him a violin he will own when there is no longer a stage to play it on. He does not say any of this in the letter. He sends a deposit she did not ask for and waits.

Loud Hands

by Violet Sinclair

Iris Maren has spent thirty-one years deciding for herself what her Deafness means. She is not broken. She is not a problem. She is a medical interpreter at the busiest teaching hospital in Boston — the keeper of other people's worst news — fluent in two languages and impatient with anyone who thinks the first one is sad.

Theo Garrick is a session guitarist three months into a diagnosis he hasn't told his bandmates, his manager, or his brother about. He has been quietly going deaf for a year, and he has signed up for a community ASL class under a name that is not his.
