 Eleven years and another life ago, Clara Bishop was a rising star pianist. Everything changed on the night of a festival marking the 145th birthday of Poland’s revered composer and Clara’s distant relative, Aleksander Starza. She began that night as an artist in her own right—no longer defined by Madame, her exacting teacher. But after a devastating fire broke out in the concert hall, she left badly scarred. Since then, Clara hasn’t touched a piano or spoken to Madame, whom she blames for her career-ending injuries. Now, at 30, she has a new life in Texas as a bartender. No one there knows about her past—until Madame dies and leaves her a cryptic inheritance: a metronome linked to a notorious 19th-century murder.In her literary debut, THE FIRE CONCERTO (Union Square & Co.; June 10, 2025), Sarah Landenwich presents a richly layered, twisty story about three women of remarkable musical talent connected by tragedy. For Clara, what starts as a search for the origins of Madame’s unusual bequest turns into a mission to find the lost compositions and restore the tarnished reputation of a brilliant 19th-century female pianist from Poland. Along her journey, Clara uncovers startling truths about her formidable mentor and herself. THE FIRE CONCERTO opens in 1997 with Clara as she struggles to make sense of the gift Madame left her. Could this oddity be the metronome, missing since 1885, that belonged to her ancestor, the composer Aleksander Starza? Was it the murder weapon used by the woman accused of killing him, the pianist Constantia Pleyel? How did Madame, an orphan who fled Poland in 1939 and made her own way into Juilliard and onto the concert stage, come to possess this priceless, storied antique?Seeking answers, Clara finds an unexpected ally in her childhood rival and teenage crush, Tony Park. Another of Madame’s chosen beneficiaries, Tony offers to help Clara unravel the metronome’s history. Can she trust him? He’s not the only one interested in this coveted object. First, she receives an eerie phone call and then a threatening letter. Finally, someone breaks into and ransacks her home. Though filled with dread about revisiting the scene of her nightmare, Clara agrees to join Tony on a fact-finding trip to Warsaw, where Aleksander Starza lived and died.Scouring museum archives and private stashes of letters, Clara works to uncover the metronome’s haunted past. Gradually, she realizes that nothing about Starza and his murder are what they seem. And the truth about his relationship with Constantia Pleyel, who was far from the raging madwoman history has alleged her to be, is complicated. What Clara discovers could rewrite the history of music. For Clara, the revelations also strike a deeply personal chord. The metronome has a hidden inscription in Polish, translated as: “From pain, we must make beauty.” Were these words engraved to speak to Starza or to Pleyel? Did Madame intend for Clara to take this message to heart?
