Good morning.
This is my niece, Princess Elizabeth.

:51:05
Your Highness.
:51:07
She's asked me to recommend
a music instructor.

:51:10
- I've come up with an excellent idea.
- Your Majesty!

:51:14
It would be such a tremendous honor!
:51:17
I was thinking of "Herr Mozart".
What is your view?

:51:22
It's an interesting idea,
Majesty, but...

:51:27
Yes?
:51:29
My concern is to protect you...
:51:32
...from any hint of favoritism.
:51:40
Favoritism.
:51:42
- What is this?
- What is what?

:51:45
Why must I submit samples of my work
to a committee to teach a girl?

:51:51
Because His Majesty wishes it.
:51:54
Is the emperor angry with me?
:51:57
- Quite the contrary.
- Then why not appoint me to the post?

:52:01
You are not
the only composer in Vienna.

:52:04
No. But I'm the best.
:52:08
Mozart.
:52:12
A little modesty
might suit you better.

:52:22
Who is on this committee?
:52:24
Kapellmeister Bonno, Count
Orsini-Rosenberg and Salieri.

:52:29
Naturally, the Italians!
Of course, always the Italians!

:52:34
They're all musical idiots!
:52:37
- And you want them to judge my music?
- Young man...

:52:42
...the issue is quite simple.
If you want this position...

:52:46
...you must submit your stuff,
along with all your colleagues.

:52:51
Must I?
:52:54
Well, I won't.
:52:56
How are we supposed to live?
