Tortoni Tremelo the Cursed Musician tells the heartwarming story of a musician who just can't seem to get it right -- until he discovers that his music is just what people are hungry for.Tortoni Tremelo's trombone playing is driving his neighbors crazy. Finally, when the horrible noise shatters the crystal ball of his fortune teller neighbor, Wanka Landowski, she places a curse on poor Tortoni. Her curse causes the notes to clog up Tortoni's trombone until they spill all over the apartment, getting poor Tortoni evicted! He retreats to a cabin in the woods to practice his playing and discovers that his notes are delicious! In fact, different-sounding notes eaten in different combinations make excellent recipes! People everywhere begin to rave over Tortoni's scrumptious music, and he goes into mass production. He is an instant success -- until his performance on national TV jams television sets everywhere with notes, causing them all to explode. But is it such a disaster when people have to find other ways to entertain themselves?
