Gifted musician Tortoni Tremolo's incessant practicing irritates a fortuneteller, who puts a curse on him, ruining his career by turning all of his musical notes into pellets the size of olives. After discovering the notes are edible and delicious, Tremolo becomes a celebrity shilling great music to eat before his fortunes shift again. Boldly rendered illustrations extend the offbeat humor of a playfully moralizing story.
