Music
3:25
How do you feel? You dropped off.
3:30
Fine. I stepped like a lugg
3:36
like a rock. The first movement of the third symphony kept running through my head. What the rocks tell me.
3:46
That's because uh you're conducting it. Tomorrow.
3:51
I was the music. Therefore, I was the rock and the rock was me.
4:01
Close the window. It's cold. You look feverish.
4:06
Let me take your temperature. It has nothing to do with my temperature. It's chilly now. Close the window.
4:18
And don't fuss.
4:24
You were part of the dream, too. H a pebble, I suppose.
4:32
No, you were a living creature struggling to be born. At last, you've noticed
4:42
you're a chrysalis, ready to turn into a pretty painted butterfly. Where are you going?
4:50
Oh, just heading out for a fashion magazine.
5:20
Heat. Heat.
5:41
Heat. Heat.
6:16
I have the honor of addressing Dr. Gustaf Mara seek free clinic journalist
6:22
to black news. Dr. Mara, is it true that you canled
6:27
your conducting commitments in New York because the competition from Toscanini was too strong or because the people didn't appreciate your own music? Or was
6:36
it simply ill health? I was tired of skyscrapers and sasparilla. I want to find a place near Vienna where
6:45
the sun shines and the grape grows and I can breathe again.
6:51
Congestion of the lung. So it was ill health then.
6:56
Why is everyone so literal these days? I was speaking metaphorically.
7:05
Why were you forced to leave the Vienna Opera in the first place? Was it anti-semitism or because you worked your singers and musicians like a slave
7:13
driver? I certainly drove one musician too hard.
7:18
Dr. Marlo, which do you prefer, conducting or composing?
7:24
I conduct to live. I live to compose. Now you have wasted
7:32
precisely 2 minutes of my time, Mr. Krennic.
7:37
Why don't you do what I do when I'm teaching the New York Filermonic to play in time?
7:45
Beat it. That's very good. Thank you, Dr. Marlo. It was certainly kind of you to talk to
7:54
me. Greatly honored, I'm sure. All Austria is proud to welcome you home again.
8:07
Don't say it. I know.
8:27
Heat. Heat.
8:52
Heat.
9:14
Heat.
9:29
Heat. Heat.
9:59
I might as well be your shadow from the notice anyone takes of me.
10:04
I was waiting for that. It's about time you changed your tune.
10:10
I have plenty of tunes until you killed them all.
10:28
Right over the wheels
10:34
and next to a lavatory. You've managed to reserve the noisiest compartment on the train.
10:44
Now you can exert your own personality up to the hilt. Charm the attendant. seduce him into getting us another one.
10:56
It was the last one. We were very lucky. I've got a migraine coming up.
11:17
Privacy, punctuality. and silence. And the greatest of these is silence.
11:26
But Gustl, it's as silent as the grave. No, dearest. It's as noisy as a nursery.
11:33
Listen.
11:40
But puts us asleep and can't be the children. Listen.
12:02
But dearest, they're everyday country sounds. You're teasing. If they really
12:08
troubled you, you wouldn't write pieces called what the animals in the forest tell me or what the flowers in the meadows tell me. Even your titles give
12:17
your way. All your music is a hymn to nature.
12:22
Not quite all. You've forgotten the most important title.
12:28
What love tells me. Now give me a hand. Anyway, I don't want to imitate nature.
12:33
I want to capture its very essence. So that all the birds and the beast died tomorrow and the world became a desert. When people heard my music, they would
12:43
still know, feel what nature was. Now, if you really want to help me in my
12:52
work,
12:57
run along and see if you can't stop that lack.
13:07
When are you going to look at my songs, Gusto? You promised to ever since we got married.
13:15
I know, but I want to study them properly, and that takes time. When I can give up conducting altogether and compose all the time instead of just
13:22
during the holidays, it'll be different.
13:27
The crows are the worst offenders. And if you can dispose of any unhatched generations while you're at it, you'll save yourself a lot of future
13:35
work. Close the door quietly as you go.
14:18
Heat. Heat.
14:23
Heat.
14:36
Heat.
14:44
Heat.
15:02
Heat.
15:33
Heat. Heat.
15:49
Heat. Heat.
15:59
behind.
16:44
Woo!
16:51
Heat!
17:01
Wow.
17:10
Wow.
17:22
game.
17:32
Sh.
18:02
Heat up
18:09
here.
18:40
You still haven't scared the crows away. And there's a pile of music for you to copy out after lunch.
20:33
You need a B.
20:52
Heat. Heat.
21:03
Heat.
21:11
Heat.
21:21
Heat.
21:39
Heat.
21:58
The attendant seeing what he can do. There's no other compartment free, but is hoping someone will exchange. H just coming into another station.
22:09
Won't be long. Why don't you lie down?
22:18
Christ, why do they always honor me with a sound test?
22:26
Brass bloody band. You shouldn't have written so many into your symphonies. Oh, there's a reception committee, too. And be bound to want
22:34
speech. You make it. Where are you going? To the laboratory.
22:41
You can't. What shall I tell them? Tell them their music gives me the
22:46
shits.
23:28
What's so Guys,
23:55
heat.
24:35
as well.
24:41
I don't know.
25:00
Gustl,
25:05
something to tell me, my son. 10.
25:12
10. Ah, good. Good.
25:18
Minus what? Minus.
25:26
The day you were five, I've given you every scrut of my knowledge. Pick up those wobbles. I can try again next year.
25:34
For nine whole months, I paid your tutor to give you extra coaching to guarantee you'd pass the entrance examination. I bought you expensive books. Schmidz,
25:44
German grammar, hinderman syntax, collected works of what's his name?
25:49
Gerza. And this is how you would pay me by not winning the scholarship. I mean, 50 whole crowns down the drain. Wasn't enough.
25:56
You know what? It wasn't enough. Not enough.
26:02
My years deceived me with the sacrifices your mother and me have made for you.
26:07
I'm searching gratitude. You are a good boy to get hold of. Current father Brian
26:13
won 500 crowns to change my mark for 10 to 10 minus. They didn't want to due to
26:18
him for second year running anyway. So here goes to the politic. Yes.
26:26
The son of the goza. Disgrace he's brought on me in my house.
26:33
I'll kill him with my own bare hands. I'll kill him.
26:44
Eat your soup before it takes golden gust. It's in a very weak condition. So what use is a diploma from the iglow poly techchnic when the concert
26:52
platforms of the world are crying out for great pianists. Who do you have? You just you have Ignels. You have France list.
27:00
You have Rubenstein. A few lessons from my old friend Maestro Slatkkey. A scholarship to the proud conservatire and the whole world at your
27:10
feet. The whole world at your feet. You'd like that, wouldn't you, Crystal Precious?
27:16
Yes. Also, Alfred Grubell himself was an infant prodigy at the Slate Academy. Sounds like a factory of prodigies.
27:24
A factory of Jewish dwarfs with lace collars and shiny paint and leather shoes. What's the point of having a piano if
27:30
nobody ever uses it? I do use it. I make up tune.
27:57
Bernard Gustav's going to be a child prodigy. Isn't it wonderful? Granddad's arranging lessons for him
28:07
with slag key. Not for three crowns. A lesson is not
28:12
one crown. Crowns. Crowns. Crowns. Crowns for books. Crowns for food.
28:20
Crowns for relatives. Now crowns for music. Schle
28:25
has always charged three crimes a listen. For me, an old friend, he'll charge one. He owes me a favor. Grandad says young
28:34
groomfeld has just bought his parents two houses in Prague and Sigusman Hberg has been presented to the king of England.
28:42
Our own boy playing at Buckingham Palace. Imagine and only one crown
28:52
one crown.
29:03
Get the schnaps, brother. Drink to my son's future fame and fortune. Eh.
29:45
And what do you call that, may I ask? It's called the kitten serenade.
29:51
More like the tune the cat died off and a clin cat music.
30:00
Where did that come from? Out of my own head. And that's where it should have stayed. Even a monkey is more clever. He can
30:10
pick out a tune on one finger, pick out his nose with another, and eat a banana all at the same time. But to play the piano calls for genius
30:20
and genius calls for scales, scales. Scales. Even more scales. Scale of C major. Begin.
30:32
Elbow was in wrist. Now El was wrist. El was wrist. El was wrist. El was wrist.
30:38
El was wrist. El was wrist. Elbow was wrist. Elbow was wrist. El was wrist.
30:46
Eight eight crowns cash payment for another month's
30:51
tuition. Father, don't worry about the money. It's a good investment.
30:58
Couldn't the money go towards lessons in composition instead? Who ever heard of a composer making money? Mozart they buried in a porpa's
31:07
grave. Father, I don't think I would be good enough for a concert pianist. Practice, my boy. practice. Become a
31:15
king of the keyboard. Now go on, brother. Make your mother and me proud of you. Goodbye, father. Thank you.
31:37
And
31:46
the first one out to the boat and back gets a prize.
32:36
Bravo.
32:43
All right. Look, there's that horrible little swamp. Mara's old man's black eye.
32:51
Dirty little Jew boy. About time he had a bath. Leave it alone.
32:58
If you think you'll get a prize, you're unlucky. Too late. June's always won something for nothing. Go back to your go back to your piano.
33:34
Hey, hey, hey.
34:03
People call me old Nick. What's your name? Mara. Gustaf.
34:12
Gusto. How long have you been swimming, Gristol? 2 years. But I can't. The water won't
34:18
keep me up. Oh, it won't keep up a bar of iron either. Iron ships float on it like basking
34:25
porpuses. Why shouldn't they keep you up? Relax.
34:30
Follow in it. Forget about swimming. That'll come by itself. Where are we going?
34:38
We're going to float. I don't want to. Take me back now. Then look at the clouds. Look how easily they float
34:48
there. Isn't it easy? It's easy when you're holding me. Oh, I'm not holding you. Look, no hand.
34:56
I don't think of sinking. Think I'm floating.
35:24
Looking for this my music. H good title. What nature tells me. Unusual even if it is a bit ambitious.
35:33
Did you like it? Oh, you've got a glimmering of the divine spark. I suppose we all have somewhere deep down inside of us glowing
35:40
away in the dark. But we all need something, something special to ignite
35:46
it, make it burst into flame. It's this something special you lack.
35:51
Now, what is it you're lacking in? Years there, nothing. Vini was writing symphonies at seven. Technique. Ah, you can pick that up from a textbook as easy
36:00
as ABC. No, no, no, no. A real feeling for nature. That's what
36:05
you lack. What nature tells me?
36:11
What berries are those? I don't know.
36:19
What tree is that? I don't know.
36:24
Quick. What sort of bird's that? It went too fast.
36:32
What kind of birds that sing? Swallow. This time of year they come and go. Do you know where they go to? When does
36:42
the moon rise? What brings the north wind? Where is the great bear? I don't know.
36:50
And you've got the cheek to write music. A man who doesn't live in nature like an
36:56
animal or a rock will never in his whole life write two notes worth of light.
37:03
Good God. What have your parents been thinking of all these years? I think I can recognize lilac at least when it's in blue.
37:24
Do you come here every day? Every day I'm somewhere else.
37:42
Now there pianist France list. Even if the boy's only half as good a
37:47
piano player as France list to be doing all right. Eh morning on my way to Lipman's. Who should I bump into but old man Mlesson?
37:56
Felix is nephew. Do you know how much that boy used to get for just one performance? 800.
38:05
800 crowns of performance. Just work out what that comes to at 15 concerts a
38:11
month. Huh? I might do more. And no outcling
38:20
fork. All other expenses paid for by the concert promoters. It's a gift. And some of those concertos don't last half an hour. Work out what that comes
38:30
to a minute. My god, that's 30 to 800. The boy will need a manager, the
38:36
protective promotions. And where would you find such a thing as an honest manager? No, no. A relative. Someone who has the
38:44
boy's personal interest. What does the number first said? Huh? Oh, perhaps Gustaf will play something
38:49
for us after dinner.
39:12
I'm a millionaire, I suppose. I own property. I I go hunting. Peasants
39:18
pay me rent. Enough. I've sent my son to college.
39:24
I have no need to worry about myself. I'm a millionaire.
39:31
I do nothing.
39:45
turn.
39:55
Hello, silly.
40:00
I'm all your time. Your dreams are pain.
40:13
The only thing we are rich in is greed.
40:22
All we lack in this house is blood. I have no wish to see blood in this house.
41:35
Peekaboo. Peekaboo.
42:25
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
42:52
Heat.
43:06
Heat.
43:14
Heat.
43:27
Heat.
43:54
Heat. Heat.
44:00
Heat. Heat.
44:16
Heat. Heat.
44:37
Heat.
44:51
Heat.
45:11
Good day. Gusta
45:38
Power. Power.
46:12
Take it. Read it. Go on. Read what it says.
46:20
Dearest Alma, I love you, Max.
46:50
How's the music business? Still re orchestrating Beethoven. I hope someone does the same for me if ever I go death.
46:58
From what I hear, that's the least of your troubles. It's funny, I can never remember how many symphonies he wrote. Beethoven.
47:06
Nine, wasn't it? Don't they say no great writer of symphonies ever gets past nine? How's your number 10 coming on?
47:15
If you're trying to scare me to death, you'll have to try harder. I'm not superstitious. I thought all Jews were superstitious. Oh, I beg your pardon. I
47:24
forgot. You're not a Jew now, are you? Not now you're successful.
47:30
I can't remember. What religion are you? I'm
47:36
a composer.
47:41
If you're waiting to talk to my wife, wait outside.
47:56
No, Gustav, it's you I want to talk to. You know how I feel about her. I need
48:01
her. I love her. and I can't live without you. How original. I must send you to music. I had no idea
48:09
you were a poet as well. Now you're being facitious. I'm paying you the compliment of being perfectly frank with you. You know it's
48:17
been over between you two for ages. And you know why. You'd be better off with a
48:22
paid nurse. And she'd be better off with me. You know it. People think you're a
48:28
great man, but your music speaks of humanity, warmth, and understanding. Well, prove it. Let her go. I'm sick of being told of the way my
48:37
music speaks to people. My music begins where words leave off. And I don't need to write a symphony to say get out. I shall be getting off at S Bolton. I
48:48
hope you'll come with me.
48:56
Um, a lady in the middle of the carriage has agreed to change compartments with
49:02
us. I've explained who you are and that you're sick. I'm not moving. What do you mean you're not moving? I've
49:13
gone to a lot of trouble. Put them back, Porter. There's been a misunderstanding. Certainly, Dr. Mara. No trouble at all.
49:23
Thank you.
49:29
I understand you're searching for tranquility, Dr. Mara. Good heavens.
49:37
Yes, I fully appreciate the sensitivity of a mind so rare as yours. So delicately tuned into the vibrations of the
49:46
infinite, not to mention the harmony of the universe. I'm afraid my husband has changed his
49:54
mind. He wants to. Alma, please.
50:00
Please. It's a great privilege to meet someone who knows what it's all about.
50:07
The music of the spheres. You mean? No, I mean death.
50:18
I'm afraid you've got the wrong man. Madam, no. I read it in the newspaper. Your latest symphony, the ninth. It's all
50:25
about death. Death the pitiles enemy. Death the joker. Even death the lover.
50:49
Who's that man flying through the air?
51:01
was
51:46
Who's that man flying through the air? Some people say he's God. Lunch. What's God?
51:54
He made everything. He looks just like a man. Is everyone God? Everyone is part of God.
52:01
That tree. Yes. And the water? Yes.
52:08
Is everyone God then? Even Lulu? Even Lulu? But how can God be all different?
52:18
Look. Look at your fingernails. Feel your hair. They're different, aren't they? Yes.
52:23
It's all you. All stand just a few minutes.
52:34
Come along. And when we die, does a bit of God die,
52:39
too? No. There's a part of us that never dies. Part that nobody can see. How to know it
52:50
says then? Do you see anything in there? No.
52:57
Yep. No.
53:10
Now, can you see something? Yes.
53:18
Just because you can't see something doesn't mean to say it isn't there. Like a rainbow.
53:26
Something about all of us. Something that nobody can see.
53:33
Not even in that. No. What is it then? Some people call it
53:42
spirit. Some call it the soul. That part never
53:47
dies. Never. Never. What's happened to it?
53:55
It becomes part of God's spirit. Good night.
54:04
That's what angels are. Angels are what oldfashioned people thought good spirits should look like. Do they? Certainly not.
54:14
And who are these dirty angels? They're bad spirits.
54:20
They're supposed to live in a fiery place called hell.
54:50
And if God's cross will send us fair, don't worry,
54:55
it's only a fairy story. But if we're good, will he give us weight when we're dead? Look,
55:02
whether your spirit's been good or bad, it makes no difference. There are no presents or punishments. Heaven and hell were made up by man,
55:15
not God. So there's nothing then. Oh yes, there is something. All right. Something he shares with us all.
55:26
What? Love. So we should all have to die. We're all going to see God.
55:35
We're going to die. Die, die, die, die. Yes, even death the joker. Death the
55:40
lover. I read about it in the New York Times. Don't believe all you read in the papers, madam.
55:48
They exaggerate the death. You should read farewell.
55:56
The symphony is a farewell to love. I thank you for your kind consideration.
56:29
Death. Death. Death. That's all I ever talk about these days.
56:40
What are you doing? Seeing if there are any more about of
56:46
your lovers. Oh, you're a fine one to talk you and your busty opera stars. Stop that. I'll call the attendant.
56:56
I'm not dead yet. You'd like to see the back of me, all of you. Max, Kakoska, and all the other army of admirers at
57:06
your feet. You always wanted fame.
57:12
Well, it looks as if you'll have to settle for notoriety. Well, don't let me stop you. Get off at San Bton with Max. See if I
57:21
get it.
57:29
Heat.
57:35
Heat.
57:45
Heat.
58:05
Heat. Heat.
58:39
Heat. Heat. Heat.
59:05
Heat.
59:27
Heat. Heat.
59:46
Heat.
1:00:27
Heat. Heat.
1:00:40
Heat. Heat.
1:01:03
Heat.
1:01:24
Heat.
1:02:24
There you Heat.
1:02:43
Heat.
1:03:03
Heat. Heat.
1:03:11
Heat. Heat.
1:03:33
Heat.
1:03:47
Heat.
1:04:21
I dreamt. I imagined. Don't speak.
1:04:29
They've telegraphed and a doctor's going to meet us at the next station. It was my funeral. I was alive.
1:04:39
You were there with Max. I wanted to live so very much, but you didn't take any notice. It was terrible.
1:04:48
Don't worry. It's all right. I understand.
1:05:05
How sweet I roamed from field to field and tasted all the summer's bright till
1:05:14
I the prince of love beheld. When the sun beams did glide, he showed
1:05:23
me liies for my hair and blushing roses for my brow. He led me through his
1:05:33
garden fair where all his golden pleasures grow.
1:05:43
With sweet made use, my wings were wet and fever spired. My vocal rage. He
1:05:52
caught me in his silk and shot me in his golden cage. He loves
1:06:01
to sit and hear me sing. Then laughing sports and plays with me. and stretches
1:06:10
out my golden wing and mocks my loss of libert.
1:06:28
It wasn't the song I was supporting, but you you sang it beautifully. Thank you.
1:06:37
Charming, my dear. Even if it was a little derivative of Zlinski,
1:06:42
my teacher is always a little derivative of Arenski, who is very derivative of Rakmaninov,
1:06:49
who is very derivative of Padski, who is very derivative of Chaikovski.
1:06:56
Oh, for music love was everywhere. The least said about him, the better.
1:07:04
Oh, stop it, Gusta. Your song was charming, Elma. Even if it
1:07:10
was a little naive, a little childlike.
1:07:16
Critics are always accusing me of being naive. Don't associate naivity with children, though.
1:07:24
They don't even know what it means. Heaven lies all around us in our
1:07:30
infancy. To enter that world, you must see with the eyes of children and hear with the ears of children,
1:07:38
which you capture perfectly in your fourth symphony, Gustl, a child's view of heaven, divine. Now, if Elma hasn't any more songs for
1:07:46
me to sing, don't you think we should get on with Tristan? Gustl. Yes, we're down to business. Amate music is all very well, but he
1:07:54
doesn't play the right. You liked it then? Yes, I was surprised. You're very talented.
1:08:02
But if you'll take my advice, you leave music making to us professionals. As a budding composer, you're better off as you are.
1:08:08
A housewife. I didn't I know which I'd rather be.
1:08:16
I didn't mean that. I just don't want to see you get hurt.
1:08:21
I've seen it too often.
1:08:42
The emperor will see you now. You'll address him as your majesty.
1:08:48
His
1:08:57
Excellency France Joseph, Emperor of Austria, Justine and Gustaf Maron.
1:09:08
We are greatly honored that your majesty has dame to grant us an audience. Don't debase yourself, my good fellow. I can't bear sugats.
1:09:15
Dispense with the pleasantries and let's get down to cases. You've applied for the directorship of the Imperial Court of the Vienna.
1:09:24
Of course, you realize that is the greatest musical accolade to which any musician can aspire. Uh you are aware of the fact that a very distinguished
1:09:33
colleague of yours, uh Hugo Wolf has also applied for the post.
1:09:39
Yes, your majesty. I was aware of the fact. Parents deceased to my business.
1:09:47
What are your qualifications? In 1875, I enrolled at the conservator in Vienna. A year later, at the age of
1:09:56
16, I won the piano competition. Two years after that, I won the composers competition with a piano quintet. Your achievements in that field do not
1:10:03
concern us. We're in need of a a director of opera, not a composer mon who would utilize the position to ensure performances of his
1:10:14
own second rate symphonies, as I understand you did in Prague.
1:10:24
You have a brother who also fancies himself as a composer. Correct. That is true, your majesty. His name is Otto.
1:10:31
Some say he writes better music than you. Is that true?
1:10:36
He's a very gifted young man, your majesty. He applied for an audience once. I was too busy to see him. Pity.
1:10:45
I must get him to write a march for me. Everyone else has.
1:10:50
Go on with your qualifications. Artistic director, conductor of the Royal Hungarian Opera. Artistic director and conductor of the Hamburg Opera.
1:10:58
That's all very well, but what about your social qualifications?
1:11:04
Can you walts? Yes, your majesty. And your charming wife.
1:11:14
Uh, yes, your majesty. And them wolves.
1:11:23
Heat. Heat.
1:11:33
Heat.
1:12:02
Heat.
1:12:20
What others? Dances, your majesty. Oh no, you fool.
1:12:26
Musical qualifications. Well, now let me see. Last year I was
1:12:32
selected from many applicants to conduct a season of German music at the Royal Opera House in London where I performed with some success the works of Richard
1:12:39
Vagner. Vagner. Now there's the rub.
1:12:49
Drop your trousers. I beg your pardon, Majesty.
1:12:54
Drop your trousers. I'm sure your wife won't object. I assume she's seen it before.
1:13:17
As I thought, a Jew. But there's the rub.
1:13:24
We have some brilliant surgeons here. They could probably graft on a new foreskin, but but I doubt it would deceive Kosima Vagnner.
1:13:33
She can uh smell a Jew, a Marlo, and she's an even greater anti-Semite than her late flemented husband. Unless we can win her over, my hands are tied.
1:13:45
I may rule the country, but she rules the world of music.
1:13:52
That's a pity. You dance divinely.
1:14:01
I'm afraid we must now terminate the audience. It's time for me to take my therapeutic forces.
1:14:10
Hugo,
1:14:16
I suggest you take your sister away, Dr. Mara. Her wolf is likely to become violent.
1:14:32
Come along. We'll take you back to your room. Poor Hugo. Could he mention me?
1:14:41
Only to say he still thinks you're a better composer than your brother. Want you to write a match for him. Mara, simple tunes for simple minds.
1:14:50
Why doesn't he want to see me then? Why does he still think he's a emperor of Austria instead of a musician? I don't know. Well,
1:14:58
you still got it right to humor him.
1:15:03
Somehow he's found out I've applied for the post that he failed to get. You should have had the questions he asked me. Oh, he really put me through it.
1:15:12
Perhaps it was revenge on you for stealing his job. I haven't landed the wretched thing yet. Look, take this home, I want a word with
1:15:20
Dr. Victor. I was going to achieve.
1:15:26
Otter's going to take you home. Later on, we'll go out for a meal. My treat. You treated us last night. You can't
1:15:32
keep on tonight. We'll eat at home. I'll help you with the shopping. Oh, stop cuddling me, both of you.
1:15:41
She should get married. One less mouth here to feed.
1:15:53
along here. In many ways, you and Hugo suffer from the same misfortune. Both
1:16:00
victims of a common recurring pattern. Brilliant composers ahead of your time, forced to earn a living conducting the music of other great men who were also
1:16:08
neglected in their day. For some, the strain is too great. Tchaikoski Schuman
1:16:14
for instance and they crack up like our poor friend Huger. Does he still write every day? Greens of music. All rubbish.
1:16:24
His early songs were among the most perfect ever written. I understand you studied together at the conservator.
1:16:31
Yes, he was more brilliant than his teachers even then.
1:16:45
If I were to get that position at the opera, the one he was after, do you think it would upset him? Would that stop you accepting it?
1:16:59
As students, we shared digs. We all loved it.
1:17:05
Me, my sister, the whole family. We all have our responsibilities. Yours is to your family. Mine is to Hugo.
1:17:26
Gustav. Huga.
1:17:31
You're just in time for one of my latest songs.
1:17:38
The critics say that's all they're fit for.
1:17:53
It's all right, Hugo. Our time will come.
1:18:00
I don't want to see you get hurt. Leave composing to those too stupid to
1:18:05
do anything else. I'll put the children to bed.
1:18:16
Who is it?
1:18:27
Right, Anna. Try the leaps that you were having yesterday. I'll try if I have any voice left.
1:19:01
and sweet
1:19:21
shine.
1:19:35
Heat. Heat.
1:19:43
Heat. Heat.
1:20:03
Heat.
1:20:17
Heat.
1:20:39
Heat up here.
1:21:18
I was being consumed by flames. Do it. Lex were mocking me.
1:21:33
It's terrible to destroy something that's alive and nobody notices. It's terrible. It changes you.
1:21:45
I understand. Do you? I wonder. Perhaps you do.
1:21:56
Before we get to Vienna, you must choose between Max and me. Gusto, please. And your choice must be made out of
1:22:05
love, not duty. Duty destroys.
1:22:11
Duty always destroys.
1:22:19
Stop, Cabbage, and Casher. I hope you're all hungry by 5 minutes. Right. Lovely. I'm ravenous. What is that, Otto? Something new. It's
1:22:30
not finished yet. It's called Sunset and Interesting.
1:22:36
Interesting is easy. Beautiful is difficult.
1:22:43
Write beautiful music in time. And she'll type beautiful letters. Business
1:22:48
College. It is a waste of money. At least I'll be able to earn some money when I get my diploma.
1:22:56
When you finally do finish studying at your precious conservatire, what guarantee have you got that anyone's going to pay to hear your
1:23:03
music?
1:23:08
Luca Gustav, if he can't do it, what chance have you got?
1:23:14
Why should he be the only bread winner? Bread, bread, bread. Morning, noon, and night. Hey, Otto. No wonder Jews have got a bad name.
1:23:22
How's school? Rotten. When are we going to America? The minute our dear brother gives us the fair. Precious. You're incourageable.
1:23:32
I'm only asking for a loan. America is the land of golden opportunity. And once
1:23:38
my name is in lights, I shall pay back every penny. Liar.
1:23:43
And drag down the family name into the bargain.
1:23:48
We may never be rich, but at least Gustaf and I are members of an honorable profession. Then I'd rather be a member of the
1:23:54
oldest profession. Thank you. I simply can't stand this any longer.
1:24:03
Shut up. There a lot of you. Be all right.
1:24:10
If I get the job at the court opera, our troubles are over. Poor Hugo thought that. And look where he landed up.
1:24:23
Hugo told me. He gave me the answer. Perhaps my religion is against me. Apart
1:24:33
from that, I'm more qualified than anyone else in the country. The only thing between me and that job is cozy about her.
1:24:42
So, what are you going to do? Marry her? Nothing. so drastic.
1:24:48
I just become a Catholic.
1:25:26
Heat. Heat.

No longer a Jew boy. Winning strength through joy. You're one of us. Now
1:32:25
you're a boy.
1:32:32
All doors are thrown open. When on you I smile. dictator of opering.
1:32:41
You made me a star. You'll go very far. My passport to heaven. That's what you are.
1:32:51
No longer a dot. You got me the job. Now you're in the morning. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God.
1:33:58
Got it. What, Gustaf? One passport to heaven. The keys to the kingdom of the Vienna
1:34:07
State Opera. What was it like? It's no worse than having a tooth filled. The incense acts as an
1:34:14
anesthetic. Gustaf, what would mother have thought? At last, the boy is inside the Buckingham Palace
1:34:21
already. No, I mean changing your religion just for the sake of the family. Oh, devil take the family. I did it for
1:34:29
me. Well, I hope you don't live to regret it. What do you expect me to be struck dead
1:34:35
by the wroth of God or something? Don't worry about him. He's dead. Man is his
1:34:41
own God. Well, that's that. been baptized in the
1:34:47
Church of Christ. Now it's time for me to be received into the House of Mammon. You can baptize me in champagne at the Cafe Royal.
1:34:54
But I'm not dressed properly. And what about the others? Let's take a bottle home. They'll be so happy. Especially Otto.
1:35:01
Amen to that. We'll get a Magnum. Two Magnums.
1:35:07
Oh, Magnum. Mistium.
1:35:14
la.
1:35:23
You sure this is going to be enough?
1:35:53
One less mouth for you to feed. Your second great brother,
1:35:59
Otto. No, never do anything out of duty. It's a treadmill. I sacrificed my work
1:36:08
to it for years. It always ends in disaster.
1:36:15
Do things out of love, not duty.
1:36:21
If you love Max more than me, you must go with him. Thank you.
1:36:36
Look, it's putsy.
1:36:43
Close the blinds. The corpse doesn't like being stared at.
1:36:48
But the children, they want to give you their bouquets. Wreaths.
1:36:56
Not bouquets. Breathe. Close the blinds.
1:37:11
Oh, doctor. Thank you for coming. It's my husband. Thank you.
1:37:20
I was putting a case on the rack. Doctor,
1:37:26
when did you suffer your first attack? Doctor,
1:37:32
what are you thinking of? I'm trying to think about the development section of the first movement of the sixth symphony.
1:37:39
But what is the house on fire? What do you mean? Because it must be bloody important for you to interrupt me when I'm working. What is the meaning of this? Songs on
1:37:48
the death of children. Why not songs on the joy of children? Songs on the life
1:37:54
of children. There are many forms of death. Those songs are they're on the death of innocence.
1:38:02
I don't choose what I compose. It chooses me. Now you take care of the children and I'll take care of the music.
1:38:09
You're inhuman. You'd rather sacrifice the lot of us than lose one note of your wretched music.
1:38:24
It's still there.
1:38:54
In stormy weather, in winds at how I shelter the children, in safy at home,
1:39:04
but a voice in the tempest has called them aside.
1:39:13
I was not able to wonder
1:39:19
stormy weather in that how I sh the children in
1:39:28
home. I worish your danger before them. My mind is in torment for them.
1:39:50
In stormy weather, in winds at home
1:39:56
the children in safety at home.
1:40:04
I fear they may die in the morning.
1:40:10
There is no way I can save them.
1:40:28
In stormy weather
1:40:36
I shelter the children in safy at home.
1:40:46
But now in the storm I've lost them. I was not able to
1:41:15
call Quest
1:41:27
and will to go.
1:41:33
They rest. They rest
1:41:39
as in
1:41:46
mother's home.
1:41:58
But no, no evil can take them. For God will not forsake
1:42:11
them. They rest.
1:42:18
They rest as well. Mother's
1:42:28
arms as
1:42:35
mother's arms.
1:42:54
to
1:43:21
mommy.
1:43:35
when your sweet mother
1:43:40
comes through the door and I turn my head to look at her,
1:43:51
not on her face. My first glance falls, but on the place closer to her side,
1:44:01
where your dear face would be, smiling your good night to me as you
1:44:08
used to, little one,
1:44:14
when your sweet mother comes through the door
1:44:21
in the candles. 's glow. I remember how you always came to me, running before her to say good night.
1:44:52
Now in the growing darkness
1:44:58
we are left alone.
1:45:04
Oh light of joy forever gone.
1:45:15
I had my first heart attack shortly after the death of one of my children.
1:45:20
Yes, I read about that. Not the heart, the uh the coincidence. I mean,
1:45:26
the child's death and those uh those morbid songs of yours.
1:45:34
I was terrified all the time I was writing them that something might happen, but I had to go on. Whatever the
1:45:40
consequences, the more I see of life and death, the more I think it's all nothing but a huge, terrible joke. Why do we live? And
1:45:48
why do we suffer? And do we have to die to find out? Once upon a time, I thought I knew. No.
1:45:59
If I could tell you the answers in words, doctor, there'd be no need for me to write music. Well, that's a pity. For if you have
1:46:06
found a meaning to it all, I shall never know. I'm I'm tone deaf. Say ah a a
1:46:17
slight infection. I thought you sounded a bit horsearse. Still, there's nothing to worry about there. Uh nor your heart either. But don't overt tax yourself.
1:46:25
Avoid violent exercise. No running, no swimming. You take care of yourself,
1:46:31
you'll live for years. What about conducting? I've got a concert tomorrow night. Well, it's up to you. See how you feel.
1:46:40
When did you last have a thorough medical examination? Yesterday, huh? Paris Clinic. Just before we got on the train. They don't have throat infection,
1:46:50
too. Well, this will take care of that. Uh, Darkness, they'll send your own doctor a report which will confirm my findings
1:46:56
about your heart. Uh, watch the throat. Gargle night and morning. Take a large dose of Mendelson for your malady, doctor.
1:47:04
What? Oh, to cure my tone deafness. You mean? I think I'd rather die than listen to that stuff. You may be right. They do say the devil
1:47:13
has all the best tunes. We'll sing them together.
1:47:36
We are
1:47:53
hallelujah.
1:47:58
Heat. Heat.
1:48:21
Heat.
1:48:35
Heat.
1:49:06
That was good news. Me or Max? What did you tell him? I meant the doctor. Your heart. Just rest and you'll
1:49:17
be all right. You'll be coming into San Pton soon. You can leave me with a clear conscience.
1:49:26
Yes, I can. As long as I thought you loved me. I
1:49:31
didn't mind being your housekeeper, your music copiest, or your home. One day I
1:49:39
thought you'd stop loving your music. Start loving me.
1:49:49
Did you never realize my music is my love for you? It is you.
1:49:59
I thought it was all about the birds and the bees.
1:50:05
Do you remember the summer of 1904? It was hot. Is that all? Oh, and you were foul. There was a reason.
1:50:13
Yes, that wretched sick symphony. It was bitter. It's true. I was foul.
1:50:22
I was filled with despair of the waste. Hugo Otto,
1:50:28
I wanted to end it all. Who was it brought me back to life?
1:50:39
What is the one bright positive spark in the whole symphony?
1:50:46
Don't you remember the second subject of the first movement? I copied it out. Remember?
1:50:56
Didn't you recognize yourself? That's you, my love.
1:51:17
As long as my music lasts, our love will last.
1:51:28
Heat.
1:51:40
Heat.
1:52:00
Heat. Heat.
1:52:35
Hello, sister. It's Dr. Ruth again. I'm phoning from the station. I just heard
1:52:40
and I rushed straight down here. It's positive. They confirmed their diagnosis of the smear from the throat infection. It's flared up again. Yes, the old
1:52:49
carditis, I'm afraid. No chance. A week or two at the most. Is
1:52:54
everything ready? Good. We should be at the hospital in about 15 minutes. That is if I don't miss him. Yes. A great tragedy. Bye.
1:53:12
There's Dr. Roth. Oh, how nice of him to meet us. You can go home, doctor. We're going to live forever.
1:53:31
Heat.
1:53:45
Heat.
1:53:53
Heat.
1:54:02
Heat.
1:54:27
Heat. Heat.
1:54:50
Heat up here.
