Euterpe

Background

Euterpe is a piano owned by Leo Winston and named after the goddess of music. It was given to Leo by his mother.

During the events of Torture Garden (1967)

Leo introduces Dorothy Endicott to Euterpe. He plays on Euterpe and tells her that Euterpe will have to get used to her. Later, Dorothy tells Leo that she heard him talking to himself and he tells her that he was talking to Euterpe. Miss Chambers tells Leo that Dorothy is taking him away from practicing too much and he will ruin his career. He tells her that he feels really happy and Euterpe's lid suddenly falls down. Dorothy goes to Leo's house and finds him slumped over Euterpe. She gives him a present of a framed picture of herself and he tells her that Euterpe resents her and thinks she is trying to prevent him from improving himself. They hear a shattering sound and find the glass shattered on the picture she gave him. Dorothy goes to Leo's house and hears the piano playing and Leo tells her that Euterpe was playing on its own. She tells him that they should go on a vacation and he will have to cancel his tour. She gives him an ultimatum that they either go on vacation together and cancel his tour or she will leave him. Leo goes to pack his suitcase and while Dorothy is in the room with Euterpe it starts to play on its own. It starts playing Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 and pushes Dorothy out of the window.
