1:45:08
And then, do you know what happened?
1:45:13
A miracle!
1:45:22
With that yawn...
1:45:23
... I saw my defeat
turn into a victory.
1:45:31
Mozart was lucky
the emperor yawned only once.
1:45:35
Three yawns...
1:45:36
...and the opera
would fail the same night.
1:45:39
Two yawns, within a week at most.
1:45:43
With one yawn, the composer
could still get...
1:45:49
Nine performances! Nine!
That's all it's had! Withdrawn!
1:45:54
I know, I know.
1:45:56
It's outrageous.
1:46:00
Still, if the public
doesn't like one's work...
1:46:04
...one has to accept
the fact gracefully.
1:46:06
But what is it that they don't like?
1:46:10
I can speak for the emperor.
1:46:12
You make too many demands
on the royal ear.
1:46:15
The poor man can't concentrate for
more than an hour. You gave him four.
1:46:26
What did you think of it yourself?
1:46:28
Did you like it at all?
1:46:32
I thought it was marvelous.
1:46:35
Of course.
It's the best opera yet written.
1:46:39
I know it!
1:46:43
Why didn't they come?
1:46:48
I think you overestimate
our dear Viennese, friend.
1:46:51
You didn't give them a bang
at the end of songs...
1:46:55
...to let them know when to clap.
1:46:58
I know, I know.
