1
00:00:13,742 --> 00:00:18,116
ORCHESTRA REHEARSAL
2
00:01:36,194 --> 00:01:39,110
Ooooh! Go on...
3
00:01:40,019 --> 00:01:41,157
...try it out
4
00:01:42,351 --> 00:01:44,292
The acoustics
are marvelous
5
00:01:45,653 --> 00:01:46,898
It was an ancient oratory
6
00:01:48,471 --> 00:01:51,660
Along there, are the tombs
of3 popes
7
00:01:52,052 --> 00:01:53,225
...and 7 bishops
8
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,981
It's a graveyard in here
9
00:02:00,191 --> 00:02:02,239
In 1871...
10
00:02:03,006 --> 00:02:06,445
...this oratory became
a true auditorium
11
00:02:07,145 --> 00:02:09,610
...for both vocal
and instrumental concerts
12
00:02:10,169 --> 00:02:12,635
All the courts of Europe
envied us for it
13
00:02:13,334 --> 00:02:15,931
For its acoustics
14
00:02:17,055 --> 00:02:19,485
Ooooh, hear it?
15
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:22,786
The sound is limpid,
without echo
16
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:25,121
Ideal for listening
to music
17
00:02:25,993 --> 00:02:28,068
Without any reverberation
18
00:02:30,688 --> 00:02:31,554
That podium was...
19
00:02:32,322 --> 00:02:35,239
...for the world's
great conductors...
20
00:02:35,452 --> 00:02:36,732
...a mark of achievement
21
00:02:38,059 --> 00:02:39,269
What musicians!
22
00:02:39,729 --> 00:02:41,840
And the people!
23
00:02:42,234 --> 00:02:45,669
There were ministers,
ambassadors, clergy
24
00:02:45,918 --> 00:02:47,614
They'd bring their
own score...
25
00:02:48,109 --> 00:02:50,705
...to follow the music
26
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:55,267
And what beautiful
ladies... elegant
27
00:02:55,726 --> 00:02:56,757
...audacious
28
00:02:57,951 --> 00:02:58,959
Playing tricks again?
29
00:03:01,082 --> 00:03:02,538
And the air was perfumed!
30
00:03:03,515 --> 00:03:05,009
...there was another
atmosphere...
31
00:03:05,776 --> 00:03:07,401
The public today is
no longer the same
32
00:03:08,072 --> 00:03:10,430
I must be boring you
with this chatter
33
00:03:16,766 --> 00:03:18,011
Everything is in place
34
00:03:20,278 --> 00:03:21,285
Beautiful, eh?
35
00:03:26,851 --> 00:03:30,217
But I'm only the copyist,
second fiddle to everyone
36
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:31,295
Another year...
37
00:03:32,692 --> 00:03:34,493
... and off into retirement
38
00:03:37,108 --> 00:03:37,973
I'll return...
39
00:03:38,256 --> 00:03:39,987
...only to attend concerts
40
00:03:41,247 --> 00:03:42,077
That yes!
41
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:44,686
I couldn't live
without music
42
00:04:13,762 --> 00:04:15,779
Good morning to one
and all!
43
00:04:16,161 --> 00:04:18,829
I heard some TV people
are coming to do...
44
00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:22,416
...a documentary about our
orchestra. This beautiful...
45
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:25,998
...auditorium was once
a church
46
00:04:26,212 --> 00:04:27,978
...of the 13th century,
as you must know
47
00:04:28,262 --> 00:04:32,188
There, you can see
ancient tombs and...
48
00:04:32,367 --> 00:04:34,241
I already told them
49
00:04:35,253 --> 00:04:36,912
Oh, I'm the first violinist
50
00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:40,739
Good morning, Mirella
51
00:04:42,486 --> 00:04:45,154
Can somebody help with this
cover? It weighs a ton
52
00:04:45,373 --> 00:04:49,262
Here, let me
53
00:04:50,694 --> 00:04:53,846
Don't say anything.
TV people are here
54
00:04:58,134 --> 00:05:00,731
I'd like to know what
they do with these chairs!
55
00:05:01,925 --> 00:05:04,913
Dirty Filthy!
56
00:05:19,939 --> 00:05:20,484
They'll break!
57
00:05:23,244 --> 00:05:23,729
...Break wind!
58
00:05:25,608 --> 00:05:27,445
I'm having a sauna at 4,
no matter what
59
00:05:28,147 --> 00:05:31,265
...a snake, a lion... about
thirty positions in all
60
00:05:31,485 --> 00:05:34,818
...but it's all
a mental approach
61
00:05:35,138 --> 00:05:36,522
There's no hurry...
62
00:05:37,256 --> 00:05:38,502
...You're doing wonderfully
63
00:05:39,552 --> 00:05:41,876
To me he looks worse
than the last time
64
00:05:42,091 --> 00:05:46,123
Oh, Professor,
with us again!
65
00:05:47,099 --> 00:05:49,174
I'll bet the Professor
here...
66
00:05:49,603 --> 00:05:51,262
...that within 4 months...
67
00:05:51,619 --> 00:05:53,872
Professor, my
Uncle Quintilio...
68
00:05:54,366 --> 00:05:56,762
...ravished them all
for sixty years straight
69
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,891
Big eater. Drinker.
Exceptional stud
70
00:06:00,940 --> 00:06:03,406
Everyone said:
he can't last
71
00:06:03,582 --> 00:06:06,048
Well, let me tell you,
he's 93
72
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:10,394
...and still going strong
73
00:06:12,346 --> 00:06:13,805
"One of Werther's sons?"
74
00:06:14,329 --> 00:06:15,538
...begins with G
75
00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:18,224
What rotten people
you run into...
76
00:06:19,299 --> 00:06:21,873
...the light turned green
77
00:06:22,466 --> 00:06:24,518
...but he just stood there
78
00:06:25,247 --> 00:06:28,401
I tapped the horn and said
I was late for a rehearsal
79
00:06:28,864 --> 00:06:31,638
Then, as if eyeing a turd,
he says:
80
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,284
"What's there to rehearse?
It's obvious..."
81
00:06:34,463 --> 00:06:36,122
"...you'll never learn"
82
00:06:40,618 --> 00:06:43,428
You're listening to the
soccer game? Not me...
83
00:06:43,644 --> 00:06:44,995
...I'm too nervous
84
00:06:45,626 --> 00:06:46,978
Your barometer?
85
00:06:47,261 --> 00:06:51,078
Let's see what old
faithful says
86
00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:53,477
Oh, it's gone up
another 15%%%
87
00:06:53,799 --> 00:06:57,023
...the prospects aren't
too good for my violin
88
00:06:57,485 --> 00:06:59,109
How's the octopus?
89
00:06:59,293 --> 00:07:02,066
Ah, it's a battle!
The thing's always there...
90
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:04,124
...lying in ambush
91
00:07:04,335 --> 00:07:05,271
What a bitch!
92
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:09,269
Go ahead keep up this shit
about my nightmares
93
00:07:10,141 --> 00:07:12,537
Don't get pissed, Professor,
it's bad for you
94
00:07:13,272 --> 00:07:16,569
Our neurosis is the
that's strangling us
95
00:07:21,654 --> 00:07:24,428
We paid a fortune for him,
but wasn't it worth it?
96
00:07:26,418 --> 00:07:26,904
What's that?
97
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:30,137
A depressant
98
00:07:30,730 --> 00:07:32,353
I've tried them all,
no improvement
99
00:07:33,685 --> 00:07:34,965
...perhaps worse
100
00:07:38,832 --> 00:07:41,264
Why doesn't it play?
- look...
101
00:07:57,715 --> 00:07:59,209
Assholes!
102
00:07:59,454 --> 00:08:02,679
"8 and a Half" is a psycho-
analytical film? Get with it
103
00:08:02,895 --> 00:08:05,635
Brush up! What's with you?
104
00:08:05,958 --> 00:08:07,617
How can I play?
Hey, barometer...
105
00:08:08,566 --> 00:08:11,268
...put the chair where it
belongs so I can play
106
00:08:12,774 --> 00:08:14,754
No, sorry...
It's too close to the stand.
107
00:08:14,896 --> 00:08:17,041
I must sit there
108
00:08:17,502 --> 00:08:20,835
I must. Be courteous
I forgot...
109
00:08:21,016 --> 00:08:23,376
...my glasses
110
00:08:23,798 --> 00:08:26,988
I'm not here for courtesies,
but to play!
111
00:08:27,551 --> 00:08:29,080
I, here!
112
00:08:29,708 --> 00:08:30,573
I, there!
113
00:08:31,238 --> 00:08:32,732
This is my place
114
00:08:33,152 --> 00:08:35,131
You're offensive... THERE!
115
00:08:35,377 --> 00:08:35,958
...HERE!
116
00:08:36,699 --> 00:08:38,951
You sick in the head?...
Stop it!
117
00:08:39,168 --> 00:08:40,412
You stop!
118
00:08:58,956 --> 00:09:00,343
...your attention please
119
00:09:01,876 --> 00:09:03,714
A distinguished guest:
120
00:09:04,448 --> 00:09:05,279
...Television
121
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:07,260
With technicians
122
00:09:07,927 --> 00:09:09,909
...and director,
for coverage
123
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,256
...of our orchestra
rehearsal
124
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,596
...And interviews
125
00:09:15,299 --> 00:09:17,374
You're better off if we're
not interviewed
126
00:09:17,942 --> 00:09:18,737
otherwise I'll tell
127
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:20,959
Tell what?
128
00:09:21,593 --> 00:09:22,981
That you get a kickback
129
00:09:23,888 --> 00:09:26,248
For your participation
130
00:09:26,393 --> 00:09:27,946
...and your union
representative agrees...
131
00:09:28,097 --> 00:09:29,305
Compensation: nix
132
00:09:30,288 --> 00:09:32,268
No one made any agreement
133
00:09:33,522 --> 00:09:36,888
It's a special job!
For special rates!
134
00:09:37,382 --> 00:09:38,805
It's not special
135
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:40,543
No, nothing doing!
136
00:09:41,624 --> 00:09:43,153
We're not in agreement
137
00:09:43,816 --> 00:09:45,962
Theoretically, we could
even accept
138
00:09:46,215 --> 00:09:47,911
...but not the Union
139
00:09:48,719 --> 00:09:50,663
It's the usual hedging
with State Television
140
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:52,086
that's never solved
141
00:09:52,546 --> 00:09:54,559
Let your representative
tell you
142
00:09:55,117 --> 00:09:57,026
Calm down, people...
143
00:09:57,342 --> 00:09:59,667
We're already poorly paid...
144
00:09:59,916 --> 00:10:01,089
...but TV wants us
for nothing
145
00:10:01,307 --> 00:10:10,308
The public loves music
and the ones who play it.
146
00:10:10,975 --> 00:10:13,050
...but the minute it
becomes a program...
147
00:10:13,478 --> 00:10:15,494
For filming us, at least
a token
148
00:10:15,739 --> 00:10:16,534
...a gift
149
00:10:17,305 --> 00:10:18,833
No one is obliged
150
00:10:19,042 --> 00:10:21,544
...whoever grants
the interview
151
00:10:21,756 --> 00:10:23,487
...grants it. Who doesn't
want, doesn't grant
152
00:10:23,633 --> 00:10:24,178
How silly! Numbskulls!
153
00:10:24,398 --> 00:10:26,758
Allow me to turn your
attention to something...
154
00:10:26,937 --> 00:10:29,118
What kind of
representative are you?
155
00:10:35,771 --> 00:10:38,129
What an insult! Dumb heads!
156
00:10:41,995 --> 00:10:44,909
I dreamt there was a horse
in my room
157
00:10:45,333 --> 00:10:46,471
That's not good
158
00:10:47,002 --> 00:10:50,227
...Though it depends
on the horse's color
159
00:10:50,445 --> 00:10:51,168
Shitheads!
160
00:10:58,861 --> 00:11:00,521
You want to interview me?
161
00:11:02,024 --> 00:11:04,313
I prepared it
162
00:11:04,947 --> 00:11:06,570
...he helped me with it
through
163
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:10,923
"The piano is like
a king on a throne"
164
00:11:11,206 --> 00:11:13,530
"Immobile. One must go to it"
165
00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:17,147
"Bow down. Near
the stool to it"
166
00:11:17,815 --> 00:11:20,932
"It's like a mythological
creature"... his doing
167
00:11:21,777 --> 00:11:27,125
"A room with a piano
becomes its room"
168
00:11:28,524 --> 00:11:30,670
"It's an instrument
of royal courts"
169
00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:33,423
What was that, Sir?
170
00:11:35,097 --> 00:11:37,764
I said I once played at court
171
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:40,825
Before Victor Emanuel III
172
00:11:41,148 --> 00:11:42,642
And you weren't shot?
173
00:11:46,051 --> 00:11:49,728
I don't want a piano,
I mean I have one but...
174
00:11:49,946 --> 00:11:51,961
...it needn't be mine
175
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:54,741
All the pianos of the world
are that piano
176
00:11:55,232 --> 00:11:57,378
To play mine alone...
177
00:11:57,736 --> 00:11:59,918
...would be limiting...
would be restrictive
178
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,069
I think...
179
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:06,174
...that to realize
one's self, one must...
180
00:12:06,533 --> 00:12:07,363
...be aware
181
00:12:08,863 --> 00:12:10,806
...that is, be more aware
of people
182
00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:13,794
...have more acquaintances
183
00:12:14,184 --> 00:12:16,923
Okay! I'm from
Marina di Pisa
184
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:19,463
...but I took up the flute
in California
185
00:12:20,235 --> 00:12:22,108
...Where's it's played
sweeter, less violently
186
00:12:22,426 --> 00:12:24,927
The flute is a
delicate instrument
187
00:12:25,139 --> 00:12:28,054
The most similar to
the human voice
188
00:12:28,232 --> 00:12:31,838
Even if they say that
about the cello
189
00:12:32,024 --> 00:12:33,862
...and saxophone
190
00:12:34,041 --> 00:12:35,985
...and probably the drum!
191
00:12:38,318 --> 00:12:40,855
It's funny because
choral groups say...
192
00:12:40,997 --> 00:12:44,223
...they sound like an
instrument! But really...
193
00:12:44,406 --> 00:12:46,655
...only the flute has
that human quality
194
00:12:47,256 --> 00:12:50,589
What a mysterious sound...
supernatural!
195
00:12:51,185 --> 00:12:53,815
It even tames wild beasts
196
00:12:54,072 --> 00:12:56,609
Didn't Apollo use the flute
to awaken the dead?
197
00:12:57,584 --> 00:13:02,268
It's the instrument of magic
spells, both solar and lunar
198
00:13:02,487 --> 00:13:05,403
...why flutists are all
so batty
199
00:13:05,999 --> 00:13:09,059
It's true.
That's what they say
200
00:13:09,478 --> 00:13:11,729
Maybe because they blow
and blow...
201
00:13:12,086 --> 00:13:15,868
...and all that wind goes
to their heads, right?
202
00:13:16,676 --> 00:13:19,380
Everyone expects us to...
203
00:13:19,562 --> 00:13:21,743
...do something strange,
who knows why?
204
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:29,989
The trombone is a
unique instrument
205
00:13:30,933 --> 00:13:33,922
...with a grave voice, that
admonishes with kindness
206
00:13:34,377 --> 00:13:38,265
And also very comical,
accompanying clowns
207
00:13:38,444 --> 00:13:40,352
...as they squirt water
and take falls
208
00:13:40,566 --> 00:13:42,298
It's the instrument
of angels!
209
00:13:42,479 --> 00:13:46,403
That's true, in Renaissance
paintings you'll see...
210
00:13:46,581 --> 00:13:47,685
...angels with trombones
211
00:13:47,904 --> 00:13:50,050
Received by the Lord
to trombone music...
212
00:13:50,234 --> 00:13:52,346
...fantastic
213
00:13:52,564 --> 00:13:54,294
The trombone
is the voice...
214
00:13:54,441 --> 00:13:55,971
...of a solitary being
215
00:13:56,702 --> 00:13:59,168
I love to listen to it
along the beach
216
00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:01,561
...in wintertime
217
00:14:26,748 --> 00:14:30,257
I have nothing to say,
really
218
00:14:30,504 --> 00:14:33,598
I was looking at that
hanging cobweb
219
00:14:33,981 --> 00:14:36,554
5 or 6 yards long,
isn't it?
220
00:14:36,832 --> 00:14:39,429
With the trombones blowing...
221
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:42,355
...it swayed back and forth.
Look, look, see it?
222
00:14:42,572 --> 00:14:45,074
...the spider, up there?
223
00:14:45,284 --> 00:14:46,493
...hanging from the thread?
224
00:14:46,814 --> 00:14:49,553
See it?
225
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,478
Isn't it wonderful
that we're here to make...
226
00:14:52,657 --> 00:14:55,120
...a spider go on a swing
227
00:14:55,540 --> 00:14:58,316
Take a look at it
228
00:14:58,671 --> 00:15:00,687
That little spider...
229
00:15:00,828 --> 00:15:02,701
...while the trombones
played...
230
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:08,470
Can you spare a minute?
231
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:10,454
...for a frivolous
question?
232
00:15:11,504 --> 00:15:13,829
Is it true there are likes
and dislikes
233
00:15:14,042 --> 00:15:15,666
between instruments?
234
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:18,211
Absolutely, definite likes
and dislikes
235
00:15:18,390 --> 00:15:22,385
We get along with the bass
236
00:15:22,598 --> 00:15:25,170
...because it keeps time,
tight and even
237
00:15:25,345 --> 00:15:29,685
Without flourishes, trills
or "arpeggios"
238
00:15:29,901 --> 00:15:31,881
The piano is a chatterbox
239
00:15:32,126 --> 00:15:34,414
And violins bleed
240
00:15:34,595 --> 00:15:36,739
In Italy they concentrate
less on rhythm
241
00:15:37,549 --> 00:15:41,154
More on singing. Neapolitans
have a good sense of rhythm
242
00:15:41,376 --> 00:15:43,178
They're the best drummers
243
00:15:43,845 --> 00:15:45,576
Who invented the Tarantella?
The Neapolitans
244
00:15:45,966 --> 00:15:49,819
I'd say the rhythm
instruments...
245
00:15:49,861 --> 00:15:51,248
...are liked
246
00:15:51,287 --> 00:15:53,683
...they got humor.
Yeah, they're friendly
247
00:15:54,243 --> 00:15:56,079
What he says is true
248
00:15:56,224 --> 00:15:58,371
That air of sufficiency...
249
00:15:58,938 --> 00:16:00,397
The condescending tone...
250
00:16:01,303 --> 00:16:03,804
The haughtiness... of
a violin, or a flute
251
00:16:04,329 --> 00:16:07,246
...as it takes its place,
just doesn't exist with us
252
00:16:08,223 --> 00:16:09,955
Let a Neapolitan in
an orchestra...
253
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:12,981
and what's he become?
The tympanist, the drummer
254
00:16:13,162 --> 00:16:15,971
...it makes him feel happy
255
00:16:16,222 --> 00:16:20,037
A little rhythm even helps
the Maestro...
256
00:16:20,219 --> 00:16:22,721
to get unwound.
Even the oboe
257
00:16:22,897 --> 00:16:24,806
forgets that it's gloomy,
and begins smiling
258
00:16:28,426 --> 00:16:31,059
I don't want to be
interviewed, or photographed
259
00:16:31,244 --> 00:16:34,196
I don't want to be mistaken
for someone else
260
00:16:36,253 --> 00:16:37,781
Try asking him
261
00:16:39,312 --> 00:16:39,998
Professor...
262
00:16:41,225 --> 00:16:43,064
Would you mind answering?
263
00:16:43,313 --> 00:16:44,971
Actually, you don't
deserve it
264
00:16:45,328 --> 00:16:47,581
Without compensation, I
shouldn't bother. However...
265
00:16:47,763 --> 00:16:49,779
...go ahead
266
00:16:50,163 --> 00:16:52,664
Let's see... Tell me
about your cello
267
00:16:52,910 --> 00:16:56,976
It's one of the essential
instruments of an orchestra
268
00:16:57,221 --> 00:16:59,890
You might say that
the violin and cello...
269
00:17:00,073 --> 00:17:02,643
...are the foundations
270
00:17:02,818 --> 00:17:06,780
...upon which all symphonic
concerts are built
271
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:09,282
The pillars. Am I wrong?
- Yes...
272
00:17:10,714 --> 00:17:11,888
I'll explain the violin...
273
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:16,898
The 1st violin is the brain,
the heart of the orchestra
274
00:17:17,183 --> 00:17:18,986
And the clarinet
is the cock!
275
00:17:23,373 --> 00:17:27,890
Look, I'd say the cello
comes close...
276
00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:30,178
...to being the
"ideal friend". It's...
277
00:17:30,815 --> 00:17:33,934
...the true friend
...discreet, faithful.
278
00:17:34,328 --> 00:17:35,643
Not like the violin
279
00:17:36,170 --> 00:17:38,352
The violin is seductive,
fascinating
280
00:17:39,161 --> 00:17:40,229
...but deceiving
281
00:17:40,552 --> 00:17:41,239
It's female
282
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:43,538
Oh, what horseshit!
283
00:17:44,031 --> 00:17:45,759
You don't agree?
284
00:17:46,635 --> 00:17:51,155
No, I don't agree,
because for us the violin...
285
00:17:51,333 --> 00:17:54,486
...is the most virile
instrument in the orchestra
286
00:17:54,914 --> 00:17:56,965
It's female!
287
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,903
Isn't "she" always seducing?
288
00:17:59,330 --> 00:18:02,176
Well, if we want
to play games...
289
00:18:02,357 --> 00:18:04,714
...it's totally masculine
290
00:18:05,207 --> 00:18:07,223
...it's penetrating, phallic!
291
00:18:08,685 --> 00:18:10,452
I agree with my gentle
colleague
292
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:13,928
It's not at all feminine,
there's nothing...
293
00:18:14,110 --> 00:18:17,335
...languid about it. It's
vibrant and always modern
294
00:18:17,518 --> 00:18:21,265
In the Conservatories it is
still the preferred...
295
00:18:21,447 --> 00:18:23,107
...instrument
296
00:18:25,552 --> 00:18:27,877
The cello is chronically sad
297
00:18:28,091 --> 00:18:30,792
The violin is the true diva
of the orchestra
298
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:33,225
I was saying that
the first violin...
299
00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:35,176
...is the star
of the orchestra
300
00:18:36,435 --> 00:18:41,545
When unfortunately we have a
conductor who doesn't keep...
301
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:43,179
...the tempo, and misses
his cues
302
00:18:43,565 --> 00:18:44,740
...one who lacks authority
303
00:18:45,513 --> 00:18:47,763
...and we can tell
immediately
304
00:18:47,946 --> 00:18:49,713
as soon as he reaches
the podium
305
00:18:49,894 --> 00:18:51,209
...and raises the baton
306
00:18:51,773 --> 00:18:55,898
It's the first violin...
...who controls the situation
307
00:18:56,084 --> 00:18:58,266
...and guides the orchestra
308
00:18:58,658 --> 00:19:01,882
...literally substituting...
...the conductor
309
00:19:02,449 --> 00:19:04,594
Whose hand does
the conductor shake
310
00:19:05,507 --> 00:19:07,619
...when the applause comes?
311
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:09,392
The first violinist's
312
00:19:09,438 --> 00:19:11,866
I once told a conductor:
313
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:14,958
"You're in love with brass"
314
00:19:15,245 --> 00:19:16,216
"That's your speed:
bandmaster!"
315
00:19:17,887 --> 00:19:19,903
How does that fit in?
316
00:19:20,774 --> 00:19:24,106
Getting back to the cello,
it's certainly
317
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,167
...an instrument that will
never betray you
318
00:19:27,556 --> 00:19:31,302
Once it has chosen you
it remains faithful
319
00:19:33,050 --> 00:19:33,535
The bassoon...
320
00:19:34,545 --> 00:19:36,383
good for clowns
321
00:19:36,598 --> 00:19:38,649
I owe everything to
the violin.
322
00:19:39,275 --> 00:19:41,527
It helped me take wing
ahead of time
323
00:19:42,266 --> 00:19:43,546
In what sense?
324
00:19:44,666 --> 00:19:47,297
It helped me discover
where dissonances lie
325
00:19:50,265 --> 00:19:53,111
You're interviewing me?
Then I'll go there
326
00:19:53,604 --> 00:19:55,925
That's my place
327
00:19:56,245 --> 00:19:59,198
Comb your hair before the
red light goes on, Curly
328
00:19:59,549 --> 00:20:00,036
Yes, certainly...
329
00:20:01,948 --> 00:20:03,050
The clarinet?
330
00:20:03,582 --> 00:20:07,056
It led me out
of the fog of my hometown.
331
00:20:07,687 --> 00:20:10,427
A village...
...in the Po Valley: Gazoldo
332
00:20:10,469 --> 00:20:13,942
From August to April of
the following year...
333
00:20:14,294 --> 00:20:15,609
...it's invisible
334
00:20:15,928 --> 00:20:19,117
The bell tower vanishes,
the school vanishes... and
335
00:20:19,197 --> 00:20:21,829
Let me explain: thanks
to the clarinet...
336
00:20:22,014 --> 00:20:25,204
...I traveled the world.
And even met...
337
00:20:25,387 --> 00:20:28,091
...the great Toscanini,
who told me:
338
00:20:28,588 --> 00:20:30,947
"Bravo, young fellow,
finally..."
339
00:20:31,125 --> 00:20:35,193
"I hear a nice clarinet
sound." His words
340
00:20:36,030 --> 00:20:39,466
"Finally, I hear a nice
clarinet sound!"
341
00:20:39,714 --> 00:20:42,809
And you said?
- What could I say
342
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:45,303
to a Toscanini
who tells you:
343
00:20:45,453 --> 00:20:48,441
"Bravo, finally I hear
a nice clarinet sound"
344
00:20:48,687 --> 00:20:50,275
What did he say?
345
00:20:51,364 --> 00:20:53,997
Didn't you hear?
"Bravo, young fellow..."
346
00:20:54,182 --> 00:20:56,848
"finally I hear a nice
clarinet sound"
347
00:20:57,450 --> 00:20:58,837
Who was playing?
348
00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,771
I was!
349
00:21:02,597 --> 00:21:04,613
...a truly fantastic
instrument
350
00:21:05,067 --> 00:21:08,256
...engaging. Not only
for its miraculous
351
00:21:08,439 --> 00:21:10,419
...possibilities.
With a trumpet...
352
00:21:11,257 --> 00:21:13,616
...you can venture into
incredible music acrobatics..
353
00:21:13,968 --> 00:21:15,036
No! What's extraordinary...
354
00:21:15,951 --> 00:21:18,061
...is that it allows you
to express what's inside you
355
00:21:18,281 --> 00:21:22,347
...joy, sadness...
even silence
356
00:21:22,627 --> 00:21:27,737
Claudio, you better talk
to this guy
357
00:21:28,782 --> 00:21:31,664
Pipe down, I'm being
interviewed here!
358
00:21:32,747 --> 00:21:34,727
A mistake... it happens
359
00:21:35,390 --> 00:21:37,500
The trumpet is
a passport to...
360
00:21:38,241 --> 00:21:39,627
a greater dimension
361
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:42,305
Who plays it, understands
362
00:21:43,041 --> 00:21:44,286
A dimension of fullness
363
00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:47,102
Everything is more intense,
more sublime
364
00:21:47,945 --> 00:21:50,518
Ask any trumpet player...
we're quite a few
365
00:21:51,526 --> 00:21:54,929
Tell him how we trumpets
study harder than anyone
366
00:21:55,108 --> 00:21:56,352
What was that?
367
00:21:56,499 --> 00:21:59,095
It's true
368
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:03,380
We spend hours making
our lips supple
369
00:22:03,556 --> 00:22:04,980
...before we begin playing
370
00:22:06,201 --> 00:22:08,454
The margin of error allowed
to other instruments
371
00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:10,398
...isn't tolerated for
the trumpet
372
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,988
Aren't the strings just
as demanding?
373
00:22:14,269 --> 00:22:17,778
A clinker on a trumpet
is death
374
00:22:18,442 --> 00:22:20,315
...it has become a mania...
I can't sleep...
375
00:22:20,702 --> 00:22:23,761
...I'm a sleepwalker...
376
00:22:23,972 --> 00:22:26,118
They found me wandering
outside in pajamas
377
00:22:26,302 --> 00:22:28,282
...playing the trumpet
378
00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:32,628
I'm always terrified
of going sour
379
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:34,392
You've worked quite a lot...
380
00:22:35,969 --> 00:22:38,850
Hey, "paragraph 9"! You've
had it with me
381
00:22:39,029 --> 00:22:41,353
You can go play
in a jukebox
382
00:22:41,916 --> 00:22:44,312
There's no muzzling in
383
00:22:44,455 --> 00:22:46,918
without getting cleared
through personnel
384
00:22:47,095 --> 00:22:47,711
You understand?
385
00:23:03,060 --> 00:23:05,310
Yes, I'm the Union
Representative
386
00:23:05,457 --> 00:23:06,917
for this category
Glad to answer you.
387
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:10,142
We've freed musicians...
388
00:23:10,363 --> 00:23:12,092
...from a state of
intolerable servility
389
00:23:12,621 --> 00:23:14,530
The music worker today
has reestablished
390
00:23:15,056 --> 00:23:16,373
...his dignity
391
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:19,047
He's not a minstrel,
or the puppet
392
00:23:19,299 --> 00:23:20,615
...of conductors and agents
393
00:23:21,178 --> 00:23:23,774
But an integrated worker,
conscious of his contribution
394
00:23:23,959 --> 00:23:25,062
...to mass culture
395
00:23:25,768 --> 00:23:28,341
How did we achieve this?
396
00:23:28,482 --> 00:23:31,432
By safeguarding his prestige
as a professional
397
00:23:31,609 --> 00:23:33,755
...through union struggles
398
00:23:34,322 --> 00:23:39,147
From equitable salary
demands to...
399
00:23:39,329 --> 00:23:40,645
...the elimination
of mediators!
400
00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:42,283
Keep quiet!
401
00:23:42,737 --> 00:23:45,370
From reconstructing
the organic whole...
402
00:23:45,556 --> 00:23:47,214
of the orchestra
403
00:23:47,849 --> 00:23:49,996
...to the shifting
of progressive objectives...
404
00:23:53,276 --> 00:23:55,490
I thought we agreed... What
will I do with him...
405
00:23:55,569 --> 00:23:56,115
A mouse!
406
00:23:57,205 --> 00:24:00,394
There! Behind the painting
407
00:24:01,238 --> 00:24:04,084
It's behind there.
- It's huge!
408
00:24:04,925 --> 00:24:08,529
There it is!
409
00:24:09,829 --> 00:24:10,801
Don't kill it!
410
00:24:17,827 --> 00:24:19,663
They're opening
all the sewers
411
00:24:19,808 --> 00:24:20,779
with their reconstructions
412
00:24:21,755 --> 00:24:23,343
Burn it! You gotta burn it!
413
00:24:26,138 --> 00:24:26,789
Let's fry it
414
00:24:27,912 --> 00:24:29,084
Careful! Catch it
415
00:24:29,650 --> 00:24:33,088
It won't die. It bites
416
00:24:34,971 --> 00:24:37,508
I don't want to see it!
417
00:24:38,586 --> 00:24:41,053
Let's stew it
All right, throw it out.
418
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:43,764
You're disgusting
419
00:24:43,838 --> 00:24:45,332
Hey! Are we insured
against rats!
420
00:24:45,472 --> 00:24:47,310
To your places!
421
00:24:50,342 --> 00:24:51,966
In place!
The Maestro's here
422
00:25:05,677 --> 00:25:07,170
Our respects, Maestro
423
00:25:13,396 --> 00:25:15,378
How terrible! Please,
no time now
424
00:25:15,554 --> 00:25:19,442
Put out dat light.
Ja, I know...
425
00:25:19,691 --> 00:25:21,184
...you from TV, but
I'm against it
426
00:25:22,925 --> 00:25:23,541
Oboe!...
427
00:25:24,699 --> 00:25:25,635
My feet are freezing
428
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,370
I forgot my wool booties
at home
429
00:25:32,071 --> 00:25:34,254
Why you interested
in rehearsals?
430
00:25:34,541 --> 00:25:36,902
This is a workshop.
Or it should be
431
00:25:37,046 --> 00:25:39,474
...where we try to put
something together
432
00:25:39,652 --> 00:25:42,225
What are we doing now?
433
00:25:43,479 --> 00:25:45,350
...trying to construct
something
434
00:25:45,668 --> 00:25:47,956
Exactly for what purpose,
I've...
435
00:25:48,137 --> 00:25:50,462
...never understood.
You excuse me now
436
00:25:51,476 --> 00:25:53,622
We will talk after
437
00:25:56,031 --> 00:25:57,383
That light, please
438
00:26:01,006 --> 00:26:02,180
The strings, only strings
439
00:26:16,098 --> 00:26:18,528
Violins, what's wrong,
had an argument?
440
00:26:18,916 --> 00:26:21,273
Everyone is playing...
441
00:26:21,451 --> 00:26:23,562
...for himself.
Maybe because
442
00:26:23,712 --> 00:26:24,886
...you belong
to different parties?
443
00:26:25,939 --> 00:26:27,218
Why bother answering him?
444
00:26:27,573 --> 00:26:28,782
Attention...
445
00:26:43,813 --> 00:26:45,271
Stop! Stop!
446
00:26:46,525 --> 00:26:49,027
With finesse! We're not
in Amusement Park
447
00:26:49,169 --> 00:26:52,288
Sentiment, but with elegance.
You're violins
448
00:26:52,473 --> 00:26:53,540
...not trumpets!
449
00:26:55,916 --> 00:26:58,726
Flute, it's an E-flat
450
00:26:59,115 --> 00:26:59,910
...not natural
451
00:27:00,888 --> 00:27:02,548
Here it says E natural
452
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:04,045
It's an E-flat
453
00:27:04,712 --> 00:27:07,867
It's E natural
454
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:09,091
Correct it...
455
00:27:10,591 --> 00:27:12,666
For you it's always
the copyist's fault!
456
00:27:13,302 --> 00:27:18,057
Clarinet, not... uhaaa!
457
00:27:18,415 --> 00:27:20,845
...more delicate, poetic
458
00:27:21,023 --> 00:27:22,053
Why laughing?
459
00:27:22,795 --> 00:27:24,076
...not comic
460
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,965
Maestro, the whole phrase
is hilarious
461
00:27:27,353 --> 00:27:29,711
Composer's intention
was not hilarity
462
00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:31,420
You laugh uselessly
463
00:27:31,595 --> 00:27:33,468
Listen...
464
00:27:38,203 --> 00:27:39,791
Even he's laughing
465
00:27:41,715 --> 00:27:42,889
It's very funny
466
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:45,394
You're funnier
than the music
467
00:27:50,721 --> 00:27:52,180
I'm sending you 4 clarinets
468
00:27:52,946 --> 00:27:55,483
Even if you need 1,
you gotta take 4
469
00:28:03,970 --> 00:28:05,427
After, I'll tell you later
470
00:28:23,097 --> 00:28:25,173
Why didn't I stay
in California?
471
00:29:17,068 --> 00:29:18,562
Where are we?
472
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,199
...on a soccer field?
473
00:29:21,902 --> 00:29:23,490
Take me for an umpire?
474
00:29:24,683 --> 00:29:26,628
Too strong! Too penetrating!
475
00:29:26,876 --> 00:29:28,227
Castrate yourselves
476
00:29:29,172 --> 00:29:31,981
He's right... the brass
was too loud
477
00:29:35,744 --> 00:29:37,474
He's a riot!
478
00:29:42,315 --> 00:29:43,524
Put the sheets back, go on
479
00:29:45,655 --> 00:29:47,730
I'm also sending a certain
Ciccio Calamida
480
00:29:48,785 --> 00:29:51,416
He plays nothing, but
you gotta take him
481
00:29:51,705 --> 00:29:52,879
because the undersecretary...
482
00:29:53,305 --> 00:29:54,693
Why did he do that?
483
00:29:55,876 --> 00:29:57,679
To give us a little break?
484
00:29:58,556 --> 00:29:59,836
...many thanks
485
00:30:00,990 --> 00:30:02,518
Remember the one who threw
his watch at me?
486
00:30:03,042 --> 00:30:06,788
Tomorrow, though. If it's
400 I'll give you 20%%%
487
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:10,517
Sunday at the beach
and bring the kid
488
00:30:12,362 --> 00:30:14,091
Let's try the "Gallopade"
489
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:15,939
...from no. 15
490
00:30:38,894 --> 00:30:41,467
Alt! You got fear of strings?
491
00:30:41,642 --> 00:30:43,860
Or low blood pressure?
Da capo!
492
00:31:09,498 --> 00:31:11,751
Alt! Oboe, too invading!
493
00:31:13,393 --> 00:31:15,753
...give room to the others.
Da capo!
494
00:31:41,943 --> 00:31:44,231
You tickle the strings
495
00:31:44,448 --> 00:31:47,434
...you must slice! Saw!
496
00:31:47,888 --> 00:31:49,478
May I ask a question?
497
00:31:50,011 --> 00:31:52,086
Do you know what you're
here for?
498
00:31:52,272 --> 00:31:56,398
I want compact sound.
Da capo!
499
00:32:23,081 --> 00:32:24,706
That's it! Like that
500
00:32:25,342 --> 00:32:26,208
Go on!
501
00:32:59,910 --> 00:33:01,641
I don't hear! More life
502
00:33:01,996 --> 00:33:03,135
Let me hear the bass!
503
00:33:05,716 --> 00:33:07,625
Don't fall behind!
Weiter!
504
00:33:34,754 --> 00:33:36,935
Genauso! Break through!
505
00:33:37,259 --> 00:33:38,266
...ACHTUNG!
506
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,300
Toscanini clarinet,
please be so kind...
507
00:34:24,483 --> 00:34:26,949
...to repeat alone
last four bars
508
00:34:27,126 --> 00:34:28,370
...from no. 82
509
00:34:29,770 --> 00:34:33,587
No, I played it once then
twice. The third time...
510
00:34:33,768 --> 00:34:35,784
...by myself is against
union regulations
511
00:34:36,378 --> 00:34:39,709
The passage must be executed
by the entire orchestra
512
00:34:40,028 --> 00:34:42,209
What's he running,
a school?
513
00:34:42,532 --> 00:34:46,385
I'd think less about unions
and more...
514
00:34:46,566 --> 00:34:48,119
...about music
515
00:34:50,913 --> 00:34:52,786
And yet I insist
516
00:34:52,965 --> 00:34:56,544
If Wagner had to worry about
517
00:34:56,718 --> 00:34:57,893
...unions and strikes
518
00:34:58,563 --> 00:35:00,187
...nix music and operas
519
00:35:00,580 --> 00:35:03,983
It's not the union's fault
if he wrote lousy music
520
00:35:04,509 --> 00:35:06,039
Ja... there's no peace
521
00:35:06,701 --> 00:35:08,015
...no calm, no silence
522
00:35:09,587 --> 00:35:10,974
It's a shit life
523
00:35:11,813 --> 00:35:14,030
Smear that shit on
your baton and then
524
00:35:14,211 --> 00:35:14,935
...give it a lick
525
00:35:18,907 --> 00:35:20,258
From 5-3-0
526
00:35:20,715 --> 00:35:21,650
The saxhorn, please
527
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:24,882
What was that?
528
00:35:25,098 --> 00:35:25,477
Saxhorn?
529
00:35:27,253 --> 00:35:30,691
Not here
530
00:35:31,009 --> 00:35:32,112
Meaning what?
531
00:35:32,955 --> 00:35:34,509
I don't know. He's not here
532
00:35:34,696 --> 00:35:39,211
He "couldn't" come,
why is that?
533
00:35:39,492 --> 00:35:41,568
You asking me?
534
00:35:41,824 --> 00:35:44,291
I'll restate it
535
00:35:44,432 --> 00:35:46,542
Not he "couldn't", but
he "wouldn't" come...
536
00:35:46,796 --> 00:35:47,863
...in protest
537
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,620
With the Union's approval
538
00:35:50,796 --> 00:35:52,740
So who plays,
somebody's sister?
539
00:35:53,474 --> 00:35:56,248
Leave our sisters alone
540
00:35:56,499 --> 00:35:58,051
...let's keep
the families out
541
00:35:58,376 --> 00:36:00,913
You said,
"somebody's sister"
542
00:36:01,194 --> 00:36:02,024
I only meant a...
543
00:36:03,177 --> 00:36:05,713
...hypothetical
saxhorn sister
544
00:36:05,993 --> 00:36:07,582
I don't grasp such subtle
humor
545
00:36:08,010 --> 00:36:11,104
You just worry about
your baton
546
00:36:11,348 --> 00:36:13,743
...and we'll take care
of our relatives
547
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,424
All right then, from 5-2-0
548
00:36:21,883 --> 00:36:25,038
Not now
549
00:36:25,501 --> 00:36:26,960
The orchestra is upset
550
00:36:27,831 --> 00:36:29,847
...I doubt they can
continue rehearsing
551
00:36:33,256 --> 00:36:36,173
What the devil do you want
from me?
552
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:39,439
See me lose my mind,
you want?
553
00:36:39,690 --> 00:36:41,278
You want my ass?
554
00:36:41,846 --> 00:36:43,470
Here, you got it!
555
00:36:48,801 --> 00:36:51,054
The orchestra will take
a double break
556
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:52,134
...20 minutes
557
00:37:20,273 --> 00:37:22,633
The conductor? He's not
too bad
558
00:37:23,054 --> 00:37:24,299
Bit hysterical, but
within reason
559
00:37:24,516 --> 00:37:26,662
There's no need for
conductors like that
560
00:37:26,845 --> 00:37:29,241
A metronome's better
561
00:37:31,331 --> 00:37:33,869
The public should sit
in with us
562
00:37:34,044 --> 00:37:36,155
They'd hear the orchestra
as if watching a...
563
00:37:36,339 --> 00:37:38,735
...battle in a movie
564
00:37:39,122 --> 00:37:40,960
...or watching a real battle
565
00:37:41,729 --> 00:37:44,017
Ascetic. Tormented.
Authoritative
566
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:48,224
Magnetic... the identity
of a great conductor!
567
00:37:48,474 --> 00:37:50,348
Then there are the mystics,
the priest-like
568
00:37:50,527 --> 00:37:51,558
The acrobatic
569
00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:54,801
How 'bout that lion tamer?
570
00:37:55,083 --> 00:37:58,380
He'd turn into a harp,
a violin, the drum
571
00:37:58,769 --> 00:38:01,342
...a kettledrum, even
the bassoon, what a riot!
572
00:38:01,551 --> 00:38:03,080
When there's a TV camera...
573
00:38:03,429 --> 00:38:04,709
... you can't shut up
574
00:38:05,655 --> 00:38:07,871
My Maestro up there
has to look at me
575
00:38:08,055 --> 00:38:09,643
...otherwise I'm jealous
576
00:38:15,114 --> 00:38:17,130
I'm on camera?
577
00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:19,736
"We're the lilies
of the valley"
578
00:38:20,435 --> 00:38:22,201
"We're pure Romans"
579
00:38:22,731 --> 00:38:25,090
...who's got friends?
Who sees anybody?
580
00:38:26,034 --> 00:38:28,464
You come in, punch a card
581
00:38:28,713 --> 00:38:30,065
...and pick it up later
582
00:38:30,243 --> 00:38:30,892
It's a factory
583
00:38:31,944 --> 00:38:32,431
Me?
584
00:38:33,475 --> 00:38:35,657
I thought I'd tour
the world with this
585
00:38:36,570 --> 00:38:37,600
...but I'm always here
586
00:38:39,108 --> 00:38:40,602
I'm sick of it...
587
00:38:41,161 --> 00:38:42,748
...this ridiculous
fart horn...
588
00:38:43,838 --> 00:38:46,198
It makes me feel useless,
it should be eliminated
589
00:38:47,003 --> 00:38:48,425
What's it good for?
590
00:38:49,054 --> 00:38:50,963
It can even be dangerous
591
00:38:51,141 --> 00:38:53,846
I give my all to shape
a sound
592
00:38:54,029 --> 00:38:57,218
...and out comes
another fart
593
00:38:58,897 --> 00:39:00,426
I think...
594
00:39:01,053 --> 00:39:03,685
...it's the very symbol
of obtuseness
595
00:39:03,939 --> 00:39:05,741
...of a stolid mentality
596
00:39:05,887 --> 00:39:08,353
Of those relationships...
597
00:39:09,017 --> 00:39:10,713
...in an orchestra,
that inhibit
598
00:39:12,286 --> 00:39:13,421
...any sort of contact
599
00:39:16,423 --> 00:39:18,474
I wanted to say that many
of us are from the provinces
600
00:39:18,927 --> 00:39:19,898
What province?...
601
00:39:20,874 --> 00:39:22,712
I'm from Naples:
"vaffanculo"
602
00:39:24,073 --> 00:39:25,875
The actual truth though
603
00:39:26,021 --> 00:39:27,859
...is that we're limited
604
00:39:28,699 --> 00:39:29,944
...culturally
605
00:39:30,855 --> 00:39:33,356
We've no real interests
in anything
606
00:39:33,498 --> 00:39:36,308
We spend our lives with
a piece of wood or tin
607
00:39:36,488 --> 00:39:38,954
...blowing away, or plucking
608
00:39:39,130 --> 00:39:42,048
Blow your philosophy
someplace else
609
00:39:43,687 --> 00:39:44,517
Anyway...
610
00:39:45,391 --> 00:39:46,565
All your gabbing about
611
00:39:47,618 --> 00:39:50,533
...Unions, the organic whole,
politics
612
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,758
...brass section, strings
613
00:39:52,903 --> 00:39:54,979
...this or that conductor
614
00:39:55,164 --> 00:39:56,892
...couldn't interest me less
615
00:39:57,596 --> 00:40:01,415
Because I can't get it up
anymore
616
00:40:02,465 --> 00:40:03,330
That's the real tragedy
617
00:40:18,497 --> 00:40:21,236
Drink, drink, it's great
for the liver and the brain
618
00:40:22,461 --> 00:40:23,493
Just a drop of wine...
619
00:40:24,062 --> 00:40:25,520
...picks me up
620
00:40:25,870 --> 00:40:27,601
A little drop can't hurt
621
00:40:27,991 --> 00:40:32,093
It's whiskey, I saw it
622
00:40:32,304 --> 00:40:35,078
...and I even smell it
623
00:40:35,538 --> 00:40:39,911
Each to his own vices.
Better to drink...
624
00:40:40,126 --> 00:40:41,549
...than go molesting
little girls
625
00:40:42,527 --> 00:40:46,131
They'll catch you one day.
That's worse...
626
00:40:46,317 --> 00:40:46,826
...than whiskey
627
00:40:49,030 --> 00:40:50,867
I didn't choose the tuba
628
00:40:51,602 --> 00:40:52,955
...it chose me
629
00:40:54,142 --> 00:40:57,367
I loved the trumpet.
It gave me goose pimples
630
00:40:57,792 --> 00:40:59,559
You remember in the army...
631
00:40:59,811 --> 00:41:01,198
...when they played taps
632
00:41:11,391 --> 00:41:13,265
I'd get a lump in my throat
633
00:41:13,512 --> 00:41:15,693
...and then go AWOL.
634
00:41:15,946 --> 00:41:17,156
I'm very sensitive
635
00:41:17,755 --> 00:41:19,035
All art makes me cry
636
00:41:20,538 --> 00:41:21,605
And that's not all...
637
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:24,664
At times I could die
638
00:41:25,231 --> 00:41:26,096
Why?
639
00:41:26,274 --> 00:41:29,677
The world is evil
640
00:41:30,622 --> 00:41:31,937
Now I miss my father!
641
00:41:32,777 --> 00:41:34,200
What the fuck you saying?
642
00:41:34,829 --> 00:41:36,904
Let's talk about
the instrument
643
00:41:37,333 --> 00:41:39,443
The fact that everybody
refused it, moved me
644
00:41:40,324 --> 00:41:42,232
Poor tuba... like a stray dog
645
00:41:42,619 --> 00:41:46,058
I felt akin to it
646
00:41:46,792 --> 00:41:47,800
...sad, and solitary...
647
00:41:48,461 --> 00:41:50,335
It's awkward like me
648
00:41:50,513 --> 00:41:53,252
We had to get together
649
00:41:53,852 --> 00:41:57,006
And we did. I did well,
it was destiny!
650
00:41:58,130 --> 00:41:59,480
...I'm attached to it
651
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:01,629
...we're true friends
652
00:42:04,529 --> 00:42:07,099
When things are down
we go by the window
653
00:42:07,344 --> 00:42:09,360
...look up at the moon
654
00:42:10,683 --> 00:42:12,663
...and play a little solo
from Verdi
655
00:42:13,013 --> 00:42:15,337
Like to hear it? Eh?
656
00:42:16,490 --> 00:42:17,948
A little piece, why not
657
00:42:41,703 --> 00:42:44,371
People react and interpret
sounds, each in their own way
658
00:42:45,111 --> 00:42:46,499
It's a personal thing
659
00:42:46,886 --> 00:42:50,393
An F-sharp, or a B-flat
660
00:42:50,570 --> 00:42:52,266
...can make some
people swoon
661
00:42:53,353 --> 00:42:55,533
...and others vomit. That's
the way the ball bounces
662
00:42:56,238 --> 00:42:58,218
Yes, true
663
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:00,794
What a magnificent
instrument the oboe is
664
00:43:01,698 --> 00:43:03,085
It's the oldest of all
665
00:43:03,889 --> 00:43:05,418
...invented by the Chinese
666
00:43:06,914 --> 00:43:07,886
The most difficult
667
00:43:08,897 --> 00:43:09,691
The most delicate
668
00:43:11,227 --> 00:43:12,199
...and most alone
669
00:43:13,035 --> 00:43:14,527
We oboists are isolated
670
00:43:15,121 --> 00:43:17,338
Envied, even disliked
671
00:43:19,121 --> 00:43:22,703
The orchestra has to reckon
with the oboe
672
00:43:23,955 --> 00:43:26,208
The oboe sets down the laws
673
00:43:26,459 --> 00:43:29,685
The oboe established
the diapason
674
00:43:30,007 --> 00:43:31,497
...between the highest pitch
675
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:34,032
...and the lowest
676
00:43:35,013 --> 00:43:36,886
It's owing to this privilege
677
00:43:37,308 --> 00:43:39,003
...that the violin hates
the oboe
678
00:43:39,741 --> 00:43:43,774
...and the oboe the violin
679
00:43:44,506 --> 00:43:46,617
It's an instrument
680
00:43:49,896 --> 00:43:52,707
...of great spirituality
681
00:43:54,279 --> 00:43:56,151
He who plays it,
develops...
682
00:43:57,303 --> 00:43:59,071
...a sort of special power
683
00:44:01,756 --> 00:44:03,736
An interior vision
684
00:44:04,225 --> 00:44:05,540
...which permits him
685
00:44:06,311 --> 00:44:08,290
...to perceive the color
of sound
686
00:44:09,649 --> 00:44:10,444
I play...
687
00:44:11,597 --> 00:44:12,285
...and see
688
00:44:13,545 --> 00:44:15,309
...an aura of gold
689
00:44:15,944 --> 00:44:17,295
...luminous
690
00:44:17,543 --> 00:44:18,966
...the color of sunlight...
691
00:44:21,090 --> 00:44:23,272
like a spreading reflection
It's true...
692
00:44:23,838 --> 00:44:26,161
I once saw a thing...
693
00:44:26,445 --> 00:44:28,354
...like a long streamer
694
00:44:30,028 --> 00:44:32,801
A supernatural experience!
695
00:44:33,575 --> 00:44:36,172
Let him hear.
You care to hear?
696
00:44:36,391 --> 00:44:38,988
Certainly, if you're
not bored
697
00:44:49,607 --> 00:44:50,744
Maestro?... Excuse me
698
00:44:54,371 --> 00:44:55,380
Another minute...
699
00:44:56,180 --> 00:44:57,208
...he's taking a shower
700
00:44:59,725 --> 00:45:02,572
With the permanent conductor
they once had...
701
00:45:03,273 --> 00:45:05,347
...the musicians didn't
carry on like this
702
00:45:07,028 --> 00:45:08,581
Everyone wore a tie!
703
00:45:09,255 --> 00:45:11,436
You were in trouble
if you didn't
704
00:45:12,801 --> 00:45:16,619
Now I wouldn't be surprised
if they soaked their feet...
705
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,946
...while playing.
We had a strict rule
706
00:45:19,131 --> 00:45:22,427
Whoever went flat
or missed his cue
707
00:45:23,025 --> 00:45:25,172
...had to play standing
708
00:45:25,634 --> 00:45:27,887
For the length of
the entire concert
709
00:45:28,312 --> 00:45:29,450
...as punishment
710
00:45:30,990 --> 00:45:34,047
What? Sessions? Hour shifts?
711
00:45:34,223 --> 00:45:35,717
...you worked all night
712
00:45:36,797 --> 00:45:39,193
Ah, how often I had to wait
till dawn
713
00:45:40,203 --> 00:45:42,705
And the musicians, at dawn,
dead tired...
714
00:45:43,716 --> 00:45:45,105
...would applaud
the conductor
715
00:45:45,803 --> 00:45:46,977
...and thank him
716
00:45:48,479 --> 00:45:50,033
Oh, he was phenomenal
717
00:45:51,193 --> 00:45:54,039
...he conducted with eyes
closed, as if in a trance
718
00:45:54,358 --> 00:45:56,611
...and yet saw everything.
How?...
719
00:46:00,096 --> 00:46:03,394
When he had to give a player
a calling down
720
00:46:04,096 --> 00:46:07,640
...he could find words
that would skin him alive
721
00:46:08,477 --> 00:46:10,528
And make him ill for a month
722
00:46:12,059 --> 00:46:14,655
And with his baton?
Such lashings...
723
00:46:14,841 --> 00:46:16,334
...on the hands and fingers
of those players
724
00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:18,099
who made a mistake
725
00:46:18,771 --> 00:46:20,823
It would hiss!
726
00:46:21,484 --> 00:46:24,991
Yet, you know something?
They were happy
727
00:46:25,761 --> 00:46:28,393
...for those hand raps
728
00:46:29,828 --> 00:46:31,974
They'd come up like
school children
729
00:46:32,994 --> 00:46:34,796
...hands held out and say:
730
00:46:35,254 --> 00:46:37,092
"My fault"
731
00:46:37,445 --> 00:46:39,592
"Hit me too... Me too,
I was wrong"
732
00:46:40,157 --> 00:46:42,100
Those were the days!
733
00:46:44,018 --> 00:46:45,962
You see what he's doing?
734
00:46:46,696 --> 00:46:48,425
TAKE YOUR STICK AND
CONDUCT MY PRICK
735
00:46:50,347 --> 00:46:51,355
You think that's right?
736
00:46:52,051 --> 00:46:53,580
Maybe now it's right
737
00:46:54,589 --> 00:46:55,763
No one knows anymore
738
00:47:04,606 --> 00:47:05,634
Maestro, there are...
739
00:47:06,551 --> 00:47:07,975
What else you want to know?
740
00:47:09,299 --> 00:47:11,931
I ask you: does music exist?
No?
741
00:47:12,394 --> 00:47:15,548
Then the world doesn't exist.
Only our habits do
742
00:47:15,732 --> 00:47:16,906
You may go...
743
00:47:20,010 --> 00:47:21,884
What meaning
has music today?
744
00:47:23,313 --> 00:47:26,372
You think people know
what music is?
745
00:47:27,591 --> 00:47:30,187
They consider themselves
intelligent because they feel
746
00:47:30,374 --> 00:47:33,077
...emotion in the gut.
They're participating
747
00:47:33,712 --> 00:47:36,665
Beethoven makes them feel
like knights in armor
748
00:47:38,894 --> 00:47:41,431
Some seem to be jumping out
of their seats
749
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,513
When I'm conducting, I'm
always feeling ridiculous
750
00:47:50,994 --> 00:47:53,010
As if dead. I feel
like a ghost
751
00:47:53,742 --> 00:47:56,552
Better I don't say these
things. Cancel it!
752
00:47:57,498 --> 00:47:59,644
Today nothing is forgiven.
One must be...
753
00:47:59,967 --> 00:48:01,663
...always intelligent
754
00:48:02,749 --> 00:48:06,674
So let us say: music is...
...the world
755
00:48:07,165 --> 00:48:10,082
When I conduct I own
the world.
756
00:48:10,226 --> 00:48:11,506
I am a king
757
00:48:12,522 --> 00:48:15,188
You want to know really
how I feel?
758
00:48:16,451 --> 00:48:20,055
Like a sergeant who
must go kicking...
759
00:48:20,242 --> 00:48:20,893
...everybody in the ass
760
00:48:22,154 --> 00:48:24,371
But absurd laws forbid me...
761
00:48:24,554 --> 00:48:25,833
...to be a sergeant
762
00:48:27,892 --> 00:48:29,660
Certainly we have taken
advantage of
763
00:48:29,841 --> 00:48:31,193
our privileged positions
764
00:48:31,438 --> 00:48:32,446
Excuse me...
765
00:48:34,359 --> 00:48:35,533
Ach, warm as usual
766
00:48:36,099 --> 00:48:37,379
...no ice
767
00:48:39,819 --> 00:48:42,629
Talent is the child of whims
and eccentricity
768
00:48:45,036 --> 00:48:47,953
I once asked a musician
to remove his ring
769
00:48:48,132 --> 00:48:50,905
...the twinkling of the stone
bothered me
770
00:48:52,304 --> 00:48:55,708
And this seemed a caprice,
the whim of a divo
771
00:48:56,130 --> 00:48:57,136
That may even be
772
00:48:58,529 --> 00:49:01,232
But an exuberant character
for an artist
773
00:49:01,450 --> 00:49:04,082
...is a vital charge
774
00:49:04,267 --> 00:49:06,176
...for leading others,
for interpreting symphonies
775
00:49:07,049 --> 00:49:07,594
Prosit
776
00:49:12,335 --> 00:49:14,515
But now this unique charge
of the conductor
777
00:49:14,698 --> 00:49:15,492
is being contested
778
00:49:16,924 --> 00:49:17,754
The musicians?...
779
00:49:19,115 --> 00:49:20,811
...don't look at them,
don't see them
780
00:49:22,281 --> 00:49:24,746
Sometimes they have
unbearable face
781
00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:28,146
I'd put...
782
00:49:28,366 --> 00:49:30,939
...a screen in front
of some of them
783
00:49:32,157 --> 00:49:33,329
They're like wild dogs
784
00:49:34,452 --> 00:49:36,040
With wild eyes... No!
785
00:49:36,921 --> 00:49:37,989
Better cancel that too
786
00:49:39,564 --> 00:49:40,594
...or they shoot my legs
787
00:49:43,007 --> 00:49:45,082
The time of greatness
is "Kaputt"
788
00:49:48,294 --> 00:49:51,481
I remember the first time
I took my place at the podium
789
00:49:52,084 --> 00:49:54,787
My first, great impression
was...
790
00:49:55,039 --> 00:49:57,574
...the enormous silence
that fell before me
791
00:49:59,872 --> 00:50:01,295
As I signaled to begin...
792
00:50:02,341 --> 00:50:03,764
...I suddenly realized,
with great emotion,
793
00:50:04,185 --> 00:50:05,679
that my conductor's baton
794
00:50:06,619 --> 00:50:08,527
...was tied to the sound
of the orchestra
795
00:50:09,402 --> 00:50:10,930
Its voice came from within
my hand
796
00:50:12,287 --> 00:50:14,612
It would pull the orchestra
out of silence
797
00:50:15,035 --> 00:50:17,181
...and to silence make
it return
798
00:50:18,964 --> 00:50:21,466
This voice would rise...
799
00:50:21,644 --> 00:50:24,144
...like a sea wave
together with my arm
800
00:50:24,285 --> 00:50:27,130
...moving through the air
like a bird's wing
801
00:50:28,563 --> 00:50:32,072
And when my arm lowered,
this harmonic voice...
802
00:50:32,945 --> 00:50:34,082
...would fade again into
silence
803
00:50:36,804 --> 00:50:39,509
But now everyone is equal,
and I should resemble...
804
00:50:39,727 --> 00:50:41,941
...the first violinist
with his butcher's hands
805
00:50:43,411 --> 00:50:45,249
So I have fits of rage
806
00:50:46,332 --> 00:50:47,162
And buy houses
807
00:50:51,549 --> 00:50:52,308
Two in America
808
00:50:53,810 --> 00:50:55,885
One in Tokyo, in London,
and Berlin...
809
00:50:57,426 --> 00:50:59,821
In Paris, no houses.
That's because...
810
00:50:59,999 --> 00:51:03,189
I do not go along with
the music of France
811
00:51:04,139 --> 00:51:06,733
That's why, maybe,
the Customs at Orly...
812
00:51:07,302 --> 00:51:09,104
...is always frisking me
813
00:51:09,285 --> 00:51:11,644
...from head to foot
814
00:51:14,779 --> 00:51:16,924
You have your interview?
That's enough
815
00:51:19,127 --> 00:51:23,251
You say "the conductor"
but this word...
816
00:51:23,645 --> 00:51:24,510
...has no meaning anymore
817
00:51:25,976 --> 00:51:27,992
A true conductor is like
a priest
818
00:51:29,315 --> 00:51:30,903
He must have a church...
with believers
819
00:51:31,437 --> 00:51:35,634
...but when the faithful
all become
820
00:51:35,818 --> 00:51:36,754
...atheists...
821
00:51:38,148 --> 00:51:41,242
I remember Koplensky
my great maestro
822
00:51:42,251 --> 00:51:44,090
...I was first violinist
823
00:51:44,894 --> 00:51:47,112
When he took the podium,
everything was silence
824
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,377
He would only look around...
825
00:51:50,111 --> 00:51:53,205
...distractedly.
But he already knew
826
00:51:53,380 --> 00:51:55,704
...every line of the score
in front of him
827
00:51:57,380 --> 00:51:59,110
He was music personified
828
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,988
And we followed him happily,
with absolute reverence
829
00:52:05,170 --> 00:52:06,696
To enact the rite
of transubstantiation
830
00:52:07,811 --> 00:52:09,126
...to change the wine
into blood...
831
00:52:10,246 --> 00:52:11,217
...the bread into flesh...
832
00:52:12,401 --> 00:52:13,302
You laugh?
833
00:52:14,349 --> 00:52:15,108
...I hope not
834
00:52:16,784 --> 00:52:17,815
Music is always sacred
835
00:52:19,391 --> 00:52:20,636
Every concert is a Mass
836
00:52:22,975 --> 00:52:24,704
We were enthralled,
and we...
837
00:52:26,590 --> 00:52:28,701
...would forget
all worries...
838
00:52:28,955 --> 00:52:31,730
...at the first sign
of his baton
839
00:52:31,945 --> 00:52:34,899
...We were but one breath,
we and our instruments
840
00:52:35,215 --> 00:52:37,290
...a single vital force
841
00:52:38,657 --> 00:52:40,010
He would begin!
842
00:52:41,857 --> 00:52:43,515
Nothing was more beautiful
than his authority
843
00:52:45,786 --> 00:52:46,924
We trembled...
844
00:52:48,222 --> 00:52:48,978
...at the thought
845
00:52:50,618 --> 00:52:53,251
...of a mistake
in performing this rite
846
00:52:54,899 --> 00:52:56,451
An overwhelming emotion
847
00:52:57,331 --> 00:52:58,955
...an immense happiness
848
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:02,016
We could feel...
849
00:53:02,305 --> 00:53:05,400
...our joy transmitting
itself
850
00:53:05,887 --> 00:53:08,980
...to the audience, which was
immobile, holding its breath
851
00:53:09,712 --> 00:53:12,488
We didn't watch the conductor
it wasn't necessary
852
00:53:13,467 --> 00:53:15,339
He was there, and we knew it
853
00:53:15,763 --> 00:53:17,151
...we felt it
854
00:53:21,431 --> 00:53:23,542
He was... within us
855
00:53:25,396 --> 00:53:27,376
...so much love passed
between him and us
856
00:53:29,499 --> 00:53:31,124
A love which you can see...
857
00:53:32,002 --> 00:53:33,069
...is now lost
858
00:53:35,862 --> 00:53:38,980
I and my musicians only feel
diffidence for each other
859
00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:41,907
The doubting...
860
00:53:42,157 --> 00:53:43,295
...which destroys belief
861
00:53:44,313 --> 00:53:47,017
And then there's a lack
of respect
862
00:53:47,165 --> 00:53:49,382
There's resentment. Because
something has been lost
863
00:53:49,564 --> 00:53:51,223
...never to be found
864
00:53:55,024 --> 00:53:56,269
That's how we play together
865
00:53:58,501 --> 00:54:01,133
United by a mutual hatred
866
00:54:03,336 --> 00:54:04,865
...like a family in ruin
867
00:54:31,296 --> 00:54:33,962
Maestro, the lights have
gone out
868
00:54:34,354 --> 00:54:35,006
I know
869
00:54:35,885 --> 00:54:36,679
What now?
870
00:54:37,937 --> 00:54:39,846
The break is over,
we rehearse!
871
00:54:45,935 --> 00:54:49,090
Go ahead, walk.
Light my way
872
00:55:00,402 --> 00:55:01,575
"Conductor, conductor..."
873
00:55:02,210 --> 00:55:03,455
"Conductor, no more!"
874
00:55:04,679 --> 00:55:06,586
"You'll only conduct us
Bowed to the floor"
875
00:55:31,875 --> 00:55:34,471
Claudio... you gotta
do something
876
00:55:40,775 --> 00:55:41,711
Now, the other eye!
877
00:55:42,235 --> 00:55:43,825
Boys, what are you doing?
878
00:55:45,436 --> 00:55:46,575
...listen
879
00:55:47,175 --> 00:55:48,906
"Conductor, conductor...
Conductor, no more"
880
00:55:49,609 --> 00:55:52,146
"You'll only conduct us
Bowed to the floor"
881
00:56:08,179 --> 00:56:10,918
Conductor no more!
No conducting allowed!
882
00:56:15,099 --> 00:56:16,202
We were idiots...
883
00:56:16,873 --> 00:56:17,975
...to study
884
00:56:19,204 --> 00:56:20,448
...to spend a lifetime
in a Conservatory
885
00:56:21,047 --> 00:56:22,115
That's right!
886
00:56:23,447 --> 00:56:25,591
We don't need conductors,
don't need music
887
00:56:26,019 --> 00:56:28,758
Nothing. Just a ring...
888
00:56:29,010 --> 00:56:30,361
...in our nose like savages
889
00:56:31,618 --> 00:56:34,322
Music is a public service.
It belongs to everyone
890
00:56:34,504 --> 00:56:36,163
Without class distinction
891
00:56:38,433 --> 00:56:39,679
Maestro...
892
00:56:40,452 --> 00:56:41,459
...how did this happen?
893
00:56:42,293 --> 00:56:43,918
"Conductor, conductor..."
894
00:56:44,589 --> 00:56:45,941
"Conductor no more"
895
00:56:47,059 --> 00:56:49,345
"You'll only conduct us
Bowed to the floor"
896
00:57:01,699 --> 00:57:03,715
What are you doing?
897
00:57:05,108 --> 00:57:06,139
You're crazy!
898
00:57:08,653 --> 00:57:09,139
How nice...
899
00:57:10,462 --> 00:57:11,291
...you're all sweated...
900
00:57:18,008 --> 00:57:19,775
"Conductor, Conductor..."
901
00:57:21,138 --> 00:57:22,312
What's falling here?
902
00:57:23,434 --> 00:57:26,552
What's happening?
- Worse yet, you're shifty,
903
00:57:26,598 --> 00:57:27,700
and corrupt. You've
been bought
904
00:57:27,745 --> 00:57:29,404
You signed too
905
00:57:29,659 --> 00:57:32,397
I'm reporting you the
Association. Immediately
906
00:57:32,718 --> 00:57:34,307
Down with music power!
907
00:57:34,979 --> 00:57:36,402
Down with assembly line
music!
908
00:57:37,170 --> 00:57:38,557
It's gotta stop!
909
00:57:39,465 --> 00:57:41,481
Stop!
910
00:57:48,265 --> 00:57:49,649
Take a look, what's
on my head?
911
00:57:51,601 --> 00:57:52,810
Let me taste
912
00:57:55,635 --> 00:57:57,223
What is it you want?
913
00:57:58,660 --> 00:58:00,213
Moron, it's raining!
914
00:58:00,608 --> 00:58:02,552
I'll not be insulted!
915
00:58:08,188 --> 00:58:09,197
What's he doing?
916
00:58:11,249 --> 00:58:13,361
Look at how one can
ruin his life...
917
00:58:17,022 --> 00:58:17,709
Again...
918
00:58:19,387 --> 00:58:19,898
Another?
919
00:58:25,056 --> 00:58:26,442
Down with the baton!
920
00:58:26,759 --> 00:58:28,254
Music belongs to us!
921
00:58:29,194 --> 00:58:31,732
You don't exist! Who is he?
922
00:58:32,012 --> 00:58:33,811
I ask you, who is he?
923
00:58:34,583 --> 00:58:37,571
He doesn't exist. And if
he does, he shouldn't!
924
00:58:44,667 --> 00:58:46,885
There's blood. Wretches!
Madmen!
925
00:58:47,103 --> 00:58:48,870
"You're fucked,
you're through"
926
00:58:49,052 --> 00:58:50,580
"It's all over for you"
927
00:58:51,970 --> 00:58:54,082
May I sit down for
the interview?
928
00:59:02,195 --> 00:59:03,784
I was first aware
of the harp...
929
00:59:04,596 --> 00:59:06,399
...in a dream.
I was very little
930
00:59:06,925 --> 00:59:09,877
I didn't know what
to think...
931
00:59:10,055 --> 00:59:12,450
...of that small gold cage
932
00:59:15,409 --> 00:59:17,033
One day, in a book...
933
00:59:17,114 --> 00:59:18,703
...I saw Nero, and Rome
that was burning
934
00:59:18,957 --> 00:59:22,016
...and the instrument
I had dreamt
935
00:59:23,617 --> 00:59:26,711
And then in a perfumed
calendar there was...
936
00:59:26,886 --> 00:59:30,005
...an angel flying and
he played the same harp...
937
00:59:30,329 --> 00:59:31,788
...of my dreams
938
00:59:32,868 --> 00:59:33,661
The harp!
939
00:59:34,118 --> 00:59:36,100
For me it's a human presence
940
00:59:36,797 --> 00:59:40,544
I couldn't live in a house
without a 60 harp
941
00:59:41,596 --> 00:59:43,743
I'd never fall asleep
if I didn't know...
942
00:59:44,831 --> 00:59:47,190
...it was nearby in
the next room
943
00:59:48,864 --> 00:59:51,224
At times hands seem
to run across it
944
00:59:52,237 --> 00:59:52,997
I hear it play
945
00:59:54,324 --> 00:59:55,154
...it could be the wind
946
01:00:04,305 --> 01:00:06,071
The harp is my very life
947
01:00:07,573 --> 01:00:09,411
Not only for what
I have earned
948
01:00:10,321 --> 01:00:11,814
...but it's my refuge
949
01:00:12,754 --> 01:00:13,584
...my friend
950
01:00:15,190 --> 01:00:18,105
I've always lived alone.
No men
951
01:00:19,084 --> 01:00:20,055
No one
952
01:00:20,823 --> 01:00:21,547
...only the harp
953
01:00:22,563 --> 01:00:24,220
We confide, we talk...
954
01:00:24,926 --> 01:00:27,215
...it answers me,
I receive sensations
955
01:00:27,674 --> 01:00:31,042
...fantasies... an
overwhelming sense of joy
956
01:00:31,742 --> 01:00:32,916
...and of sadness
957
01:00:34,107 --> 01:00:37,225
Mostly, it gives one...
958
01:00:37,515 --> 01:00:38,167
...faith
959
01:00:39,150 --> 01:00:40,182
You become aware...
960
01:00:40,368 --> 01:00:42,440
...that other
dimensions exist
961
01:00:47,564 --> 01:00:48,844
A child once asked:
962
01:00:49,060 --> 01:00:51,004
"Where does music go
when it's over?"
963
01:00:52,398 --> 01:00:54,094
...only a child could
ask that
964
01:00:55,876 --> 01:00:58,615
"Orchestra - terror
Conductor - death"
965
01:00:59,041 --> 01:01:02,064
"Orchestra - terror
Conductor - death"
966
01:01:02,657 --> 01:01:05,716
"Orchestra - terror
Who plays is a traitor"
967
01:01:31,069 --> 01:01:33,049
Here's our new conductor!
968
01:01:43,065 --> 01:01:44,762
Long live the Metronome!
969
01:01:46,510 --> 01:01:49,462
"Metronome metronomous...
Musicians - autonomous"
970
01:02:12,905 --> 01:02:15,783
"Musicians at last
freed from the past"
971
01:02:19,406 --> 01:02:21,589
Down with the metronome.
We'll establish...
972
01:02:21,737 --> 01:02:23,848
...the tempo, the rhythm,
the cadence
973
01:02:24,033 --> 01:02:27,885
We've had enough
of their music
974
01:02:28,136 --> 01:02:33,624
...it's degrading!
We play it, we'll create it,
975
01:02:33,804 --> 01:02:34,527
we'll manage it
976
01:02:35,439 --> 01:02:36,648
I'll not...
977
01:02:37,282 --> 01:02:38,811
...be directed by anyone!
978
01:02:39,020 --> 01:02:41,001
Death!
979
01:02:41,178 --> 01:02:42,042
...to the metronome!
980
01:03:39,112 --> 01:03:40,878
Idiot! Give me that gun
981
01:03:41,268 --> 01:03:42,098
...gimme
982
01:03:45,580 --> 01:03:48,176
You're hurting me.
I have a permit
983
01:03:49,025 --> 01:03:50,719
Look in my wallet
984
01:03:51,839 --> 01:03:53,262
All right let's see it
985
01:03:57,752 --> 01:03:58,960
...in his name
986
01:03:59,978 --> 01:04:03,346
A regular firearm permit
987
01:04:04,603 --> 01:04:05,326
Get up...
988
01:04:10,061 --> 01:04:10,857
A Smith & Wesson!
989
01:04:31,797 --> 01:04:34,465
Look up there... up there!
990
01:04:40,665 --> 01:04:41,388
Look!
991
01:04:49,602 --> 01:04:51,190
Everything's...
992
01:04:51,376 --> 01:04:52,312
...crumbling!
993
01:04:58,332 --> 01:04:59,229
Help me...
994
01:05:39,122 --> 01:05:39,917
Help me...
995
01:06:01,309 --> 01:06:02,032
Oh, why?
996
01:06:12,298 --> 01:06:13,199
...you are here...
997
01:06:14,907 --> 01:06:15,702
...and I'm here...
998
01:06:40,954 --> 01:06:43,524
Everyone must give undivided
attention to his instrument
999
01:06:45,752 --> 01:06:48,148
...that is all we can do now
1000
01:06:50,099 --> 01:06:51,557
Somebody can help me?
1001
01:06:52,290 --> 01:06:52,906
...please
1002
01:07:04,601 --> 01:07:06,155
The notes are saving us
1003
01:07:09,085 --> 01:07:10,022
Music saves us
1004
01:07:11,277 --> 01:07:12,450
Hang on to the notes
1005
01:07:15,658 --> 01:07:16,726
Follow the notes
1006
01:07:19,693 --> 01:07:20,724
...one after the other...
1007
01:07:22,475 --> 01:07:23,863
In the way my hand...
1008
01:07:25,292 --> 01:07:26,262
...can indicate
1009
01:07:28,664 --> 01:07:30,087
We are musicians...
1010
01:07:32,282 --> 01:07:34,048
You are musicians...
1011
01:07:46,505 --> 01:07:47,299
...and we're here
1012
01:07:48,278 --> 01:07:48,825
...to rehearse
1013
01:08:00,623 --> 01:08:02,768
Have no fear.
The rehearsal continues
1014
01:08:03,892 --> 01:08:04,864
To your places!
1015
01:08:05,770 --> 01:08:06,672
In place, please
1016
01:08:11,438 --> 01:08:12,162
...thank you...
1017
01:11:06,465 --> 01:11:08,858
You must do less coloring
with sounds
1018
01:11:09,281 --> 01:11:11,640
Noise is not music
1019
01:11:12,237 --> 01:11:13,968
Not a trolley car,
I heard pots and pans
1020
01:11:14,323 --> 01:11:16,197
Where are we?
1021
01:11:17,071 --> 01:11:20,367
...one a soccer field?
You think I'm an umpire?
1022
01:11:21,522 --> 01:11:23,325
And where has
the brass gone?
1023
01:11:23,714 --> 01:11:25,655
What's happened to
your little lungs?
1024
01:11:27,016 --> 01:11:28,403
Where is all your breath?
1025
01:11:29,275 --> 01:11:30,829
...used it for
stupid chatter?
1026
01:11:31,814 --> 01:11:32,917
Sustain the notes!
1027
01:11:46,490 --> 01:11:48,221
Gentlemen... DA CAPO!
