Prof. Franck: Look. This is Franz Schubert. He was a songwriter, too. He died young, at 32. For years, he wore the same old faded necktie. But in the land that nurtured him, he was a voice that will never be silenced. Here, Richard Wagner. At rehearsals of his great opera "Rienzi", Richard Wagner hid in the wings while the singers ate their luncheon. He didn't have a lunch - just dreams of the music of the future. Beethoven. He never asked himself, "Is this a hit?" He said, "This is the way it must be done."
