Amanda Taylor is an American Toreadr, a pianist. She arrived in West Berlin during the US occupation after the war. She was embraced by Hans and like him, she lives for music. Amanda is a woman of 40 but her hair had already turned gray too soon when she got embraced. Her way of doing things is very firm and pragmatic, she seem to follow the impeccable logic of musical syntax. Her personality his strong, her voice is loud, her character is intrusive and imposing like her symphonies.
