Summary: A White Collar A/U set in 18th Century Vienna. Neal is a composer struggling with the orchestration of his greatest work, and one of the most scandalous ever written. Peter Burke, a wealthy English nobleman, has come to him with an intriguing offer – to fund the production of that opera. But Neal is wary and becomes even warier when he's summoned to the Burkes' quarters by Lady Elizabeth Burke.

Earlier chapters: Orchestration – Prelude (Andante) | Orchestration – First Movement (Adagio).

Author’s Note: Written for my dearest friend, theatregirl7299, on the occasion of her birthday. She has been waiting so patiently for me to continue this work-in-progress and eventually, I just may finish it. Eventually.

I hope you have had a wonderfully special birthday, my friend.

Additional author's notes at the end.

A/N - Written for a prompt left for me by the wonderful daria234, and while this is a work in progress, it is her birthday, and I wanted to write something just for her on this auspicious occasion.

No beta - all mistakes are mine and mine alone. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
