:15:00
Excuse me, Auntie.
:15:02
Sorry to interrupt but I can't wait.
:15:05
I hope it's not too forward of me
to kiss the hand
:15:08
that plays such Bach.
:15:10
You can stop now.
:15:11
Where do you get
such unfashionable enthusiasm?
:15:15
I'm delighted
the tradition of recitals lives on.
:15:18
It was practically extinct.
:15:20
The masters die, then their music.
:15:23
People today
only ever listen to pop or rock.
:15:25
You're right.
Families like this are no more.
:15:28
Generations of laryngologists
:15:31
toiled over Beethoven's
last quartets.
:15:33
Now, at best, academics
stamp their feet in time
:15:36
to the trumpety-trumps
of Bruckner.
:15:40
Disdaining Bruckner is immature,
:15:42
Mr... Klemmer?
:15:46
Tell me, what enables you
to talk about music so precociously?
:15:52
Your Aunt said you studied...
:15:53
Low voltage, professor.
Low voltage.
:15:56
It was made between 1 620 and 1 630
by Marcel Pichler.
:16:00
From Hallein. A rare piece.
:16:08
It is played
:16:11
Iike a cello.
:16:13
Its common name is
leg viol or quinton.
:16:16
Recently, I found a painting
that exactly shows this instrument.
:16:22
Not this type of instrument. I mean,
specifically this instrument.
:16:27
The painting depicts
a concert of viole da gamba
:16:30
at the court of Duke Augustus
von Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel.
:16:35
- Can I fetch you something?
- Not at all. Why?
:16:40
It's fascinating.
:16:42
Look at them.
:16:44
Do they give a fig
about the benefits of illness?
:16:51
Have you read Adorno
:16:53
on Schumann's Fantasia in C Major?
:16:56
He talks of his twilight.
:16:59
It's not Schumann bereft of reason,
but just before.
