'The Music of the Violin,' which subjects the black man's values and attitudes to scrutiny, is a story about withdrawing from reality in favour of a world of artificiality and falsehood. In the process there occurs the distortion of people's existential modes as they substitute reality with artificiality. The story concerns a small boy, Vukani, his father, a school inspector and his mother, a nursing sister. They clearly belong to the aspiring middle-class and are proud of their status in society. Vukani does not like playing the violin because to him it is a source of constant humiliation and embarrassment.
He is torn between his desire to free himself from doing what he does not like, that is, playing the violin, and what he regards to be his duty to his parents; to obey and please them. A critical point in the story occurs when his parents want him to play the violin for their visitors, Dr Zwane and his wife, Beatrice. In a final act of defiance, the boy refuses to play the violin and his mother is shocked. Vukani's sister adds insult to injury by accusing her mother of pomposity, artificiality and selfishness
