»Das ist die Geschichte des Musikers Johannes Elias Alder, der zweiundzwanzigjährig sein Leben zu Tode brachte, nachdem er beschlossen hatte, nicht mehr zu schlafen.«
Der Auftaktsatz nimmt die Geschichte über das Leben eines Genies in der Enge eines österreichischen Bergdorfs vorweg: Schon als Kind ist der 1803 geborene Elias Außenseiter, sein außergewöhnlich scharfes Gehör und sein musikalisches Talent sorgen bei den Dorfbewohnern für Aufsehen und Argwohn. Die unerfüllte Liebe zu seiner Cousine Elsbeth quält ihn im Laufe der Jahre, und sie treibt ihn an. Bei einem Orgelwettbewerb in Feldberg improvisiert Elias über den Bach-Choral »Komm, o Tod, du Schlafes Bruder« und entfacht eine ungeahnt starke Wirkung auf sein Publikum und sich selbst.
