Three friends,
each at his own piano, lead the audience through their respective
passions for Winterreise, Schubert's famous song cycle on winter
heartbreak -- performing the songs, grappling with fundamental
questions about the nature of music, slipping into the skins of
Schubert and friends during one of their famous Schubertiads, and
drinking way too much. Compositional mayhem, shifting rivalries,
and some unfortunate butchery of the German language ensue.
