Eva, my dearest.
:27:47
-Is that all?
-I was just so moved.
:27:51
-Did you like it?
-I liked you.
:27:54
-I don't follow.
-Play something else.
:27:59
-What was wrong?
-Nothing.
:28:02
You didn't
like my interpretation.
:28:05
-We all have our own.
-Exactly. I want to know yours.
:28:11
-You're cross.
-No, I'm upset. You won't tell me your idea
:28:17
of this prelude.
-All right, if you insist.
:28:22
Your technique wasn't at all bad
though you might have taken
:28:26
more interest
in Cortot's fingering.

:28:43
The prelude tells

:28:49
You have to be calm,
clear and harsh.
:28:52
Take the first bars now.
:28:57
It hurts, but
he doesn't show it.
