Synopsis
"Listen closely: here is the story of Peter and the Madman. It will be told in music by orchestral instruments. How? Very simple! Each of the story's characters will be represented by a different instrument; hence the violin will be Peter's voice and the electric guitar the Madman." One fine morning, Peter opens the door of his house and goes to join his friends to finish the party begun the night before. The disgruntled grandfather comes to warn them that danger lurks: a dangerous madman is on the prowl.
