L'escena la podria haver escrita Proust o tal vegada Henry James en un dels seus viatges per l’Europa meridional. Hi ha grans dames, salons elegants i un piano molt especial. Hi ha, sobretot, gent ociosa.
I també, amb més coneixement de causa, hauria pogut ser un quadre de costumisme literari de Llorenç Villalonga perfilant amb sorna, distància i sang-froid la belle époque mallorquina. Fins i tot alguns dels protagonistes reals que hi intervenen, en aquest petit sainet verídic, apareixen en els llibres de l’escriptor mallorquí, com la senyora Gradolí, o, en tot cas, hi haguessin pogut aparèixer, com la comtessa …
