00:00 [Musique] [Applaudissements]

00:05 Tonight, I shall play Zhukovsky's concerto number five.

00:10 That's the typhoon concerto.

00:12 The one that put Rubenstein in a full body cast?

00:14 He's mad, I tell you. Mad!

00:16 [Musique]

00:18 [Musique]

00:22 [Musique]

00:34 [Applaudissements]

00:36 Thank you, thank you. You're too kind.

00:39 [Applaudissements]

00:41 For you, Mrs. Cardigan, the best piano teacher a boy could ever have.

00:46 Oh, Arthur, you're wonderful. Just wonderful.

00:50 [Musique]

00:55 Wonderful, Arthur. You've really got Blue Danube down pat.

00:59 Thanks. Want me to try the left hand now?

01:01 Uh, no, Arthur. We have to talk about something.

01:05 I know, I know. It's about lightly row.

01:09 I promise I'll practice it for next time.

01:11 I'm afraid there won't be a next time, Arthur.

01:14 You see, I'm retiring.

01:16 [Gasp]

01:18 [Musique]

01:20 Yeah!

01:22 Arthur plays the blues.

01:24 [Musique]

01:26 You're retiring? Why?

01:29 Because there are other things I want to do besides teach piano.

01:32 Cookie?

01:35 What's going to happen to me?

01:37 I'll never get to Carnegie Hall without your help.

01:39 I wouldn't be so sure about that, Arthur.

01:42 Your new teacher actually was a concert pianist.

01:45 New teacher?

01:47 Yes, I've made some calls.

01:49 And you are going to be taught by none other than...

01:53 Dr. Frederick Fugue.

01:57 I bet his cookies aren't as good as yours.

02:00 [Musique]

02:02 You are going to be taught by Dr. Frederick Fugue?

02:06 Boy, some kids get all the breaks.

02:09 He's that good?

02:10 Good? He's the best.

02:12 I'd give anything for just one lesson with him.

02:15 I don't even play piano.

02:17 Of course, your fingers might break from all the scales he makes you do.

02:21 That happened to a friend of mine.

02:23 Poor Mikey, still can't hold an ice cream cone.

02:26 And watch out for the knitting needles.

02:29 What does he use those for?

02:31 You don't want to know. Just make sure you stay on the beat.

02:35 Yup. Fugue the ferocious.

02:38 You'll either end up famous or drinking through a straw for the rest of your life.

02:43 [Musique]

02:59 Arthur Reed, I presume?

03:02 That's me.

03:03 Moderate digital spreading and no calluses.

03:06 You have been playing for... two and a half years?

03:11 Yes.

03:12 Thought so. Follow me.

03:14 C-sharp. You should get that tuned.

03:19 Presto, Tosca, presto.

03:24 What a beautiful piano.

03:28 Her name is Giselle.

03:30 She's been around the world with me, from Vienna to Carnegie Hall.

03:34 You've actually played at Carnegie Hall?

03:36 Yes, many times.

03:39 Enough chitchat. Let's hear you play.

03:42 We'll start with some scales.

03:44 D major.

03:45 C harmonic minor.

03:50 A minor.

03:53 D major again.

03:54 Tempo, tempo.

03:56 And... stop.

03:58 That'll do for today.

04:00 It appears you might actually have some talent.

04:03 Therefore, I'd like you to work on this for next week's lesson.

04:07 A boxe, two part inventions?

04:09 But this has like a million notes.

04:12 No, it only has 8,955 notes.

04:16 Let's begin with the invention in F major.

04:19 Um, Dr. Fugue, I'm not sure I can...

04:22 Remember, Arthur, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

04:30 So practice, practice, practice.

04:33 Okay, no problem. See you next week, Dr. Fugue.

04:37 8,955 notes.

04:41 Mme. Cardigan would have never given me something so hard.

04:44 Just looking at this music makes me tired.

04:48 I'll do it later. I've got a whole week.

04:53 I've got it, I've got it!

05:01 Arthur, have you practiced piano yet?

05:04 I will, mom, right after this.

05:06 Hey, Arthur, how about practicing a little piano?

05:12 Sure, dad, as soon as this game is over.

05:15 And then after the book fair, I'm going to Buster's and help him carve his pumpkin.

05:20 And then...

05:21 Your piano lesson is in two days and you haven't practiced at all.

05:24 Oh, but...

05:25 No buts. One hour, Arthur.

05:29 [Piano]

05:32 [Piano]

05:37 D.W., what are you doing?

05:41 Playing with my bunny farm. Wanna take a whack?

05:44 No, could you please play with that in your room? I'm trying to practice piano.

05:49 Mom's cleaning up there, but I'll turn the sound down.

05:53 [Piano]

05:56 Back in the barn, little piggy.

05:59 D.W., what is it gonna take for you to be quiet?

06:04 Got any candy?

06:07 Mmm... Peanut brittle!

06:16 D.W.!

06:17 What? I'm just chewing.

06:20 Dad, I can't practice. D.W.'s making too much noise.

06:25 I'll take care of her. It's important you make a good impression on your new teacher.

06:30 Whoa, these are good!

06:32 Okay, Arthur, we're off to the Tibbles. Now you won't have any distractions.

06:35 Thanks, Dad.

06:37 Okay, "Invention of F Major". Here we go.

06:45 [Sigh]

06:47 [Piano]

06:50 [Piano]

06:55 [Piano]

07:00 [Piano]

07:04 [Ding]

07:05 Oh, practicing's over. That wasn't so bad.

07:08 Wow, is that you and Yo-Yo Ma?

07:11 Indeed. Yo-Yo's a good friend of mine.

07:13 And who's the guy in the pink suit?

07:15 Uh... That's Liberace. We had a dueling pianos match when I was working my way through music school.

07:22 But we digress. Let's hear that Bach.

07:25 Try again.

07:33 Did you practice?

07:40 Yes, I did. I mean, a little. Kind of. Not really.

07:47 If you don't want to work at this, then I don't want to waste my time teaching you.

07:53 I'm afraid I have no choice.

07:56 Oh, the knitting needles.

07:58 Goodbye, Arthur. You're fired.

08:01 You were fired by your piano teacher?

08:06 Yeah, just because I didn't play the piece perfectly.

08:09 I'm sorry to hear that, Arthur.

08:11 Why? I'm thrilled. It'll be a while before my parents find me a new teacher.

08:16 So I won't have to practice piano for weeks, maybe months.

08:19 What will you do with all your free time?

08:21 I don't know. The possibilities are endless.

08:25 [Piano]

08:33 A nearly flawless rendition of the "Empire Concerto" by Irina Verkova.

08:38 [Piano]

08:40 Oh, Fantine, you are so hideous! Yet you play so beautifully!

08:46 Play it, Stan.

08:48 [Piano]

08:51 Oh...

08:53 Arthur, I'm going to the mall to buy socks.

08:56 I'll come.

08:57 I'm also looking for some toddler anklets and some mid-cap argyles in sort of a reddish-grayish tone.

09:04 Mom, I'm at the music store!

09:06 And now, Arthur Reed will play Zukovsky's Concerto No. 5.

09:13 Ahem. Excuse me, son, that's not a toy.

09:18 Now, I think this may be an instrument of Antoine's caliber.

09:23 [Piano]

09:28 Cookie, dear.

09:29 No, thanks. Mrs. Cardigan, do you really think I have any talent?

09:34 Of course I do. That's why I sent you to Dr. Fugue. How's it going?

09:38 Um, not so good. I guess Dr. Fugue kind of, uh...

09:42 Fired you? Yes, he does that to a lot of students.

09:46 He's a brilliant teacher, but a very difficult man.

09:50 Well, how do I get hired again?

09:52 You have to earn his respect.

09:54 Even his bird doesn't sing good enough for him.

09:57 You don't have to play perfectly, Arthur. You just have to play your best.

10:02 [Piano]

10:19 Hmm.

10:21 [Piano]

10:26 Woohoo! I've been fired! Yes!

10:30 Ah! Arthur Reed, dismissed for torturing the invention in F major. What brings you back?

10:37 If it's okay, Dr. Fugue, I'd like to try to play it again.

10:42 Very irregular.

10:44 All right. I have a few minutes before Soul Train.

10:47 [Piano]

10:52 Ugh! I must have made at least 50 mistakes!

10:55 Actually, you made 78 mistakes.

10:58 Oh, I'm sorry I wasted your time, Dr. Fugue.

11:01 I guess no matter how hard I try, I'll never be any good.

11:05 Well, there is something that might improve your playing.

11:09 [Gasp]

11:10 I require that all my students keep their fingers warm.

11:15 All right. Enough chit-chat. Let's do some scales.

11:19 D major.

11:21 [Piano]
