Music Conservatory Rehearsal Room

A grand piano stands open in a panelled music room, sheet music on its rack and a velvet stool pushed close. Gilt-framed portraits of composers hang above green curtains and a tall arched window looking onto lawn and trees. An upright piano waits at the right beneath stacked scores, violins and bows racked on the wall beside it, while cellos, a double bass and open instrument cases lean against the panelling. Music stands hold bound orchestral parts, and more copies lie stacked on the parquet floor. Trumpets, clarinets, flutes and a tuba rest on a bench and side table by the window, potted palms between them, and a crystal chandelier hangs over a patterned red rug. Instrument shapes repeat in dark wood, so each corner keeps a family of its own.
