dedication We talk and You listen. We complain and You explain. We cry and You comfort. We laugh and You laugh along. We are angry and You soothe us. We are indifferent and You challenge us. In your silence you seem to be saying to us: Tomorrow you will have to play a much more difficult piece. Tomorrow, when the audience is beginning to listen for wrong notes, And you no longer have me in the wings — Then we shall see what you can realty do.
