Goshu est un violoncelliste d'orchestre maladroit et timide, toujours réprimandé par son professeur. Il va être aidé dans la préparation de son concert par la visite d'une succession d'animaux : un chat, un coucou, un tanuki et un mulot, chacun lui apportant des vertus telles que la patience, le goût de la communication et la rigueur. Le chat, provocateur, insolent et chapardeur, révèle à Goshu sa faculté d'exprimer sa colère. L'oiseau chantant son fameux « coucou » sur deux notes est un modèle pour Goshu qui tentera de multiples variations sur cet air ; le tanuki approfondit l'enseignement du rythme avec son tambour. Enfin, la souris suppliera Goshu de jouer pour la guérison de son souriceau malade, ce qui sera l'occasion pour Goshu de faire montre de sa compassion et de sa générosité. Ces animaux, dans leur comportement authentique, auront tous contribué, par l'échange, à l'apprentissage intime du jeune héros.
