Are you familiar with two of my favorite literary gentlemen, the characters Francis Crawford of Lymond in the novels of Dorothy Dunnett, and/or Lord Peter Wimsey in those of Dorothy Sayers? I saw hints of them both in Count Rostov. I couldn't put A Gentleman in Moscow down; it was wonderful.
Amor Towles
I'm afraid I don't know the work of Dunnett; I did read and enjoy some of Sayers after writing AGIM. So neither was an influence.

Amor Towles:
I have been searching for over two hours, trying to find the page that describes Count Rostov discovering that Nina has been taking private piano lessons. He is particularly pleased at how well she has mastered a classical piece that was named in the book and we are given the impression that it is well known. I wanted to go to YouTube and play it but didn't write down the name of the piece. Will you help me?
