:12:00
And do you know what happened?
:12:03
A miracle!
:12:22
My life changed forever.
:12:25
I knew God had arranged it all.
That was obvious.

:12:29
One minute I was a frustrated boy...
:12:32
...in an obscure little town.
The next I was here...

:12:36
...in Vienna, city of musicians...
:12:40
... and Emperor Joseph,
the musical king.

:12:44
In a few years, I was his court
composer. Isn't that incredible?

:12:49
Every night I sat with
the emperor of Austria...

:12:52
... playing duets with him...
:12:54
... correcting the royal sight-reading.
:13:00
Actually, the man had no ear at all.
:13:04
But what did it matter?
:13:07
He adored my music.
:13:11
Tell me...
:13:13
If you had been me...
:13:16
...wouldn't you have thought
God had accepted your vow?

:13:22
And believe me, I honored it.
:13:25
I was a model of virtue.
:13:27
I kept my hands off women.
:13:30
I worked hours every day
teaching students, many for free!

:13:34
Sitting on endless committees
to help poor musicians.

:13:39
Work, that was all my life.
:13:42
And it was wonderful.
:13:44
Everybody liked me.
:13:49
I liked myself.
:13:54
Until he came.
:13:58
He came to Vienna to play
some of his music...
