Description

This month's :iconclub-tutu: contest theme is the Jazz Age. Incidentally I've been working on a Princess Tutu AU fanfic called An Uncommon Witness which is set in the 1920's, so this prompt was right up my alley. ;)

In my story Duck (I use the English name in the fanfic since it's set in 1920's New York City) witnessed a murder carried out by Mytho, a mobster who is a member of the the notorious Corvo family. Fakir is the tenacious detective who's trying to build a case against the Corvo, and tries his best to protect Duck, his star witness, much to her chagrin. If you're interested in having a peep, you can find it here: [link]

This picture is partly inspired by a scene from chapter 5. The phonograph pictured is a Victrola, made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. The two rows of music are the opening portion of the famous clarinet solo in Rhapsody in Blue, written by George Gershwin in 1924. Most people might know it from Disney's Fantasia, and it's my favorite piece of music from that era.
