:17:33
And then, do you know what happened?
:17:39
A miracle!
:17:47
With that yawn...
:17:49
...I saw my defeat
turn into a victory.
:17:56
Mozart was lucky
the emperor yawned only once.
:18:00
Three yawns...
:18:01
...and the opera
would fail the same night.
:18:05
Two yawns, within a week at most.
:18:08
With one yawn, the composer
could still get...
:18:14
Nine performances! Nine!
That's all it's had! Withdrawn!
:18:19
I know, I know.
:18:22
It's outrageous.
:18:25
Still, if the public
doesn't like one's work...
:18:29
...one has to accept
the fact gracefully.
:18:31
But what is it that they don't like?
:18:35
I can speak for the emperor.
:18:37
You make too many demands
on the royal ear.
:18:41
The poor man can't concentrate for
more than an hour. You gave him four.
:18:51
What did you think of it yourself?
:18:54
Did you like it at all?
:18:58
I thought it was marvelous.
