: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.
:29:09
Obviously a fine countess.
:29:14
Dear brother...
:29:15
you are going up in the world.
:29:17
Hand it over, you ignoramus.
:29:20
As your secretary,
it is my solemn duty to read this.
:29:28
"Beloved Luigi, my father
has recently taken delivery...
:29:31
of a new pianoforte
from Broadwood in London.
:29:35
It is of the latest design and is
the first of its kind in Vienna.
:29:39
Tomorrow morning I will send away
the servants and we shall all be out.
:29:44
I have done this so that you might try
this new invention undisturbed."
