Professor Sladky:
And what do you call that, may I ask? Young Mahler:
It's called the Kitten Serenade. Professor Sladky:
More like the Tune the Cat's Died Of. Eine Kleine Katmusik. Where did that come from? Young Mahler:
Out of my own head. Professor Sladky:
And that's where it should have stayed. Even a monkey is more clever. He can pick out a tune on one finger, pick out his nose with another and eat a banana all at the same time. But to play the piano calls for genius. And genius calls for Scales. Scales! Scales. Even more Scales. Scale of C-major. Begin! Elbows in. Wrists out. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists. Elbows. Wrists
