Wagner is that child
who behaved badly...

:21:04
...with my best friend, Meyerbeer
:21:09
I have never listened to Wagner
:21:12
- Broaden your horizons!
- That doctor is so insistent!

:21:15
- But I'm not sick!
- We wish you much success

:21:20
Sir, why are they badly dressed?
:21:22
My friends, how could I think...
:21:25
... that you would get along?
:21:28
I'll tell you one day.
I'm in a strange situation

:21:32
Why quarrel with everyone?
:21:36
If you do, we will never discover
why we are here

:21:39
Such clothing kills
a man's creative essence!

:21:45
Why do you find it necessary
to embrace European culture?

:21:49
For what reason?
:21:51
Why borrow also Europe's mistakes?
:21:57
My God! What is all this?
:22:05
Mother!
:22:15
Canova!
:22:17
What an elevated approach to art!
:22:20
What feel for the material!
:22:24
How wonderful!
:22:28
He is a true heir
to the masters of antiquity!

:22:32
Canova almost married my mother
:22:35
Was your mother a sculptress?
:22:38
Yes, in Rome
:22:40
In Rome?
Your mother was a sculptress?

:22:44
In this Canova collection,
there are even sculptures...

:22:49
...that Tsar Alexander bought
from the wife...

:22:52
Of Napoleon?
:22:54
Yes, it was 1815,
I was at the Congress of Vienna

:22:58
What were you doing there?
