PARKES:

Are you sure?

He takes the Rachmaninov Concerto score from David.

David

I'm never sure about anything, Mr. Parkes.

PARKES:

The Bach' 3? It's monumental.

David

A mountain! The hardest piece you could everest play.

A moment. PARKES dares to even consider it.

No one's ever been mad enough to attempt the Rach' 3.

David

Am I mad enough Professor? Am I?

Mr. Parkes says:
"Work, work, work"''

David hurries from one door to the next, looking into the

practice rooms which are all occupied by students practicing

on the pianos' room after room.

David's voice

'You see, I am to play in a very special competition and the

winner gets to play ath the Albert Hall before her Highest

Royalness the Queen Mum''

He arrives at a practice room door, the glass obscured by a

jacket hanging on the inside. He opens the door and is back

by the sight of TWO STUDENTS in an embrace.

David

Whooahh, a duet! Sorry.

He shuts the door, sits in the corridor and proceeds to

practice in his head.
