"What will I do
amongst the sleepers?"
Sorry to disturb you.
What is it?
Professor Kohut?
What do you want?
At the Conservatory,
no one interrupts lessons.
I apologise. I am very sorry
but I wanted to come to you
rather than ask just anybody.
About what?
The entrance exam.
I want to join your master class.
That's very flattering, young man.
I hope your interruption
is not to arouse interest
your talents don't merit.
Application forms are available
in the secretary's office.
First floor, door 11.
Please excuse us,
we have work to do.
Continue.
Go on.
"How hath the tempest riven
"the grey robe of the sky!
"In wild disorder driven."
- Mr. Walter Klemmer?
- That's correct.
Please...
Your programme
is particularly difficult.
Where do you wish to begin?
Wherever you prefer.
Professor, it's your class
that Mr. Klemmer wishes to join:
which piece
would you like to hear first?
I don't mind.
The first on the list.
Go ahead.
Well?
Stunningly brilliant.
No, seriously,
I think it wasn't too bad.
He just put "private lessons".
That's even more remarkable.
I don't know how seriously
he takes his engineering
but for someone whose priority
is not the piano, bravo.
It's amazing.
I quite agree.
He truly is very talented.
Ladies? Gentlemen?
- I vote for.
- Yes, me too.
What do you say?
He's applying to join your class.
After such euphoria,
it's hard to voice reservations.
I can't say
I totally share your enthusiasm.
Clearly he doesn't lack talent
but I wonder,
and I ask you,
what does he expect from us?
For a professional career,
he's too old.
By accepting him, we'll reject
a more motivated student.
And, frankly, I find his histrionics
suspicious or even unpleasant.
I don't see what you mean.
In the Andantino, there were
no histrionics, as you put it.
Everyone knows
our views on Schubert diverge.
Please, let's not waste time.
I feel unable
to nurture the artistic temperament
or virtuosity of Mr. Klemmer.
Dinner's ready!
Coming, Mama!
Sit down, I'll bring the sauce.
Can I switch off the TV?
If it bothers you.
Don't you like that?
I'm tired.
You look it.
Are the auditions so exhausting?
Boring, rather.
That's tiring, too.
What's wrong with you?
- What do you mean?
- Look.
Is that why you're in a bad mood?
You might be more careful.
It's not very appetising.
"Mare on heat seeks ardent,
successful stallion,
"for jumping and dressage.
"Must be 8 inches."
Hello, Mr. Naprawnik.
Who's she?
My piano teacher.
Don't pick out
