"'Young Archimedes' charts the tragic career of an unlettered Italian boy who turns out to be a virtuoso concert pianist; he then falls into the hands of an unscrupulous woman who exploits his talent and then kills it - and, indirectly, him." (Hugh Bredin)
First published in Little Mexican, Chatto & Windus, 1924. This story appears in Fantasia Mathematica because the boy is a mathematical as well as a musical prodigy.
