Whizzing up and down like fireworks at a fairground. Understand, I was in love with the girl. Or at least in lust. I swear, I never. . . . . .laid a finger on her. All the same. . . . . .I couldn't bear to think of anyone else touching her. . . . . .least of all, the creature. Brava, madame! You are an ornament to our stage. Your Majesty. Well, Herr Mozart! A good effort. Well, decidedly that! An excellent effort. You have shown us something. . . . . .quite new tonight. It is new. -It is, isn't it, sire? -Yes, indeed. So then, you liked it? You really liked it, sire? Well, of course I did! It's very good! Of course, now and then. . . just now and then. . . . . .it seemed a touch. . . . What do you mean? Well, I mean, occasionally, it seems to have. . . How shall one say. . . . How shall one say, Direktor ? Too many notes, Your Majesty? Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes. I don't understand. There are just as many notes as are required, neither more nor less. My dear fellow, there are in fact. . . . . .only so many notes one can hear in an evening. I'm right in saying that, aren't l, Court Composer? Yes. On the whole, yes, Majesty. This is absurd! My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. There are simply too many notes. Just cut a few and it'll be perfect. Which few did you have in mind, Majesty? Wolfgang, my dear! Majesty, this is Frau Weber. She is my landlady. Enchanted, madame. Sire. . .such an honor! This is my dear daughter, Constanze. She is the fiancйe of Herr Mozart. How charming. Please. When do you marry? We haven't exactly received my father's consent yet. Not entirely. Not altogether. Excuse me. . . . . .but how old are you? 26. My advice is for you to marry this charming young lady. . . . . .and stay with us in Vienna. You see! I told him that, Majesty, but he won't listen to me. Your Majesty, you give such wonderful. . . . . .such royal advice. May l. . . . Well. . . . . .there it is. Get some water! Will you get some water, please? At that moment I knew... ...he'd had her. The creature had had my darling girl. It was incomprehensible! What was God up to? My heart was filling up. . . . . .with such hatred for that little man. For the first time in my life. . . . . .I began to know. . . . . .really violent thoughts. I won't have him back. Your son is an unprincipled, spoiled, conceited brat! Yes sir. . .that is the truth. But don't blame him. The fault is mine entirely. I was too indulgent with him. Please. . . . . .Your Grace? One more chance? You have leave to try. God bless, Your Grace! I thank Your Grace. I thank you. I write to you with urgent news. I'm coming to Vienna. Take no further steps towards marriage until we meet. As you honor the father who has devoted his entire life to yours... ...do as I bid, and await my coming. I now join you. . . . . .in the holy bonds of matrimony. Those whom God hath joined together. . . . . .let no man put asunder. . . . Most beloved father. Remember how you told me Vienna is the city of musicians? To conquer here is to conquer Europe? With my wife I cab do it. And one day soon, when I'm wealthy... ... you'll come and live with us and we'll be so happy. Good morning. This is my niece, Princess Elizabeth. Your Highness. She has asked me to advise her on a suitable musical instructor. I think I've come up with an excellent idea. Your Majesty! It would be a tremendous honor! I was thinking of Mozart. What is your view? It's an interesting idea, Majesty. But my concern. . . . . .is to protect you. . . . . .from any hint of favoritism. Favoritism. What is this? What is what? Why must I submit samples of work to a committee to teach a 1 3-year-old girl? His Majesty wishes it. Is he angry with me? Quite the contrary. Then why not appoint me to the post?
