I didn't get as far as actually suggesting a question! However, I wonder if there is any mileage in any of these ideas: Grace notes in music are decorations added to a note which would be there if you took the decoration away - a frill, as it were. does that have any bearing on the story? McLaverty is a man, writing about a woman. Does he convince you about her? Is she real? If so, how does he achieve this? McLaverty is not a musician, but a writer. However, he describes qute a bit of music and the process of performing (I think) in this novel. How well does he do this? (Mr B once had a bit of an argument with him about this....)
