Only after twenty or thirty years of practice did my uncle glimpse the first faint light of musical theory. ONLY AFTER TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS OF PRACTICE DID MY UNCLE GLIMPSE THE FIRST FAINT LIGHT OF MUSICAL THEORY
hose subjects in a world like ours. Did I say uselessness--perhaps I should have said danger. But for the moment I'll confine myself to one question: Won't one or two teachers be necessary? ME: Undoubtedly. HIM: Ah, well there we are again! And these teachers--you hope they'll know something about the grammar, literature, history, geography, and morality which they're teaching her in her lessons? That's just a song and dance, my dear sir, a song and dance. If they grasped these matters well enough to teach them, they wouldn't be teaching them. ME: Why not? HIM: Because they would have spent their lives studying them. It's necessary to be profound in art or in science in order to grasp the basics well. Educational works can only be properly produced by those who have grown white in harness. It's the middle and the end which illuminate the shadows at the beginning. Ask your friend Mr. d'Alembert, the leading light in the mathematical sciences, if he would be too good to teach the basics. O PROVE TO YOU THE USELESSNESS OF ALL THOSE SUBJECTS IN A WORLD LIKE OURS DID I SAY USELESSNESS PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE SAID DANGER BUT FOR THE MOMENT I'LL CONFINE MYSELF TO ONE QUESTION WON'T ONE OR TWO TEACHERS BE NECESSARY ME UNDOUBTEDLY HIM AH WELL THERE WE ARE AGAIN AND THESE TEACHERS YOU HOPE THEY'LL KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE GRAMMAR LITERATURE HISTORY GEOGRAPHY AND MORALITY WISH THEIR'RE TEACHING HER AND HER LESSONS THAT'S JUST A SONG AND DANCE MY DEAR SIR A SONG AND DANCE IF THEY GRASPED THESE MATTERS WELL ENOUGH TO TEACH THEM THEY WOULDN'T BE TEACHING THEM ME NOT HIM BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE SPENT THEIR LIVES STUDYING THEM IT'S NECESSARY TO BE PROFOUND IN ART OR IN SCIENCE IN ORDER TO GRASP THE BASICS WELL EDUCATIONAL WORKS CAN ONLY BE PROPERLY PRODUCED BY THOSE WHO HAVE GROWN WHITE IN HARNESS IT'S THE MIDDLE AND END WHICH ILLUMINATE THE SHADOWS AT THE BEGINNING ASK YOUR FRIEND MISTER D'ALEMBERT THE LEADING LIGHT IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES IF HE WOULD BE TOO GOOD TO TEACH THE BASICS
