I found this the other day.
:28:47
"The Maestro,
Ludwig van Beethoven...
:28:49
has the pleasure
to announce a concert...
:28:51
which will be the debut ot his nephew
and ward, Karl van Beethoven...
:28:56
a prodigy instructed
by the Maestro himselt."
:28:59
Why, this is wonderful. The very thing
that will raise his spirits.
:29:03
You must be very excited.
:29:05
Anton, have you ever heard me play?
:29:07
- No, but...
- You have to help me.
:29:10
I'm at the end ot my tether.
:29:15
Endless hours at the keyboard.
:29:20
For what?
:29:22
He cannot hear
my ham-fisted playing.
:29:31
He does no work.
:29:34
All he does is
scribble incomprehensible phrases.
:29:39
Then he bellows this stupid,
childish tune at the top of his lungs.
:29:52
He says this is the motit
of a grand symphony.
:29:57
I think it's ridiculous.
