A fraction before.
:17:05
He knows he's losing his mind.
:17:07
It torments him
but he clings on, one last time.
:17:13
It's being aware
of what it means to lose oneself
:17:16
before being completely abandoned.
:17:20
I'd say you are a good teacher.
:17:24
Thank you.
:17:26
You talk about things
as if they were yours. It's rare.
:17:30
And I think you know it.
:17:32
Schubert and Schumann
are my favourites, that's all.
:17:36
Since my father died
completely mad in Steinhof asylum,
:17:40
I can talk easily about the twilight
of the mind, can't I?
:17:47
If you'd really prefer not to eat,

when you listen to him play.
:18:26
Over to you, Walter.
:18:33
My uncle exaggerates shamelessly.
:18:36
After the professor's performance,
I feel doubly amateur.
:18:40
I had intended to play for you
Schonberg's Opus 33b,
:18:45
so that my wrong notes
might go unnoticed.
:18:49
Not very funny, I know.
:18:51
But a discussion of
Schubert and Schumann's madness
:18:55
left me deeply impressed.
:18:58
I have decided to drop Schonberg
