:27:00
But I am a countess, too, Luigi.
:27:02
They are scared.
Scared ot Napoleon.
:27:06
That is why Napoleon
is the subject ot my symphony.
:27:49
I have here
a proposal ot marriage...
:27:53
from a composer.
:27:57
- Count Gallenberg.
- Oh.
:28:00
You were thinking ot Beethoven?
:28:02
Julia, the gossip is everywhere.
:28:07
- He also has proposed.
- Then there is no contest.
:28:12
- You love Beethoven?
- Yes.
:28:17
I cannot give my consent.
:28:21
We are not wealthy, Julia.
:28:23
He is a man without rank,
fortune or permanent engagement.
:28:27
His character and temperament
are so peculiar that I doubt...
:28:30
any would tind happiness with him.
:28:32
- He's a genius.
- Perhaps.
:28:35
But in the last year he has not
played nor published a single note.
:28:39
There are those who say there is
some intirmity that prevents him.
:28:44
Untrue gossip! Lies!
:28:47
Has he played tor you?
:28:53
We made a bargain. If I could
prove Luigi could still play...
:28:57
Father would give his consent.
