From someone who avoids classical music like the plague, this was beautiful, got a weird high off it. Now I'll go wash the stench of aristocracy off my ears, but after I replay it a couple of times :)

Man takes son to a piano teacher "Okay I'll pay £20 an hour but how do I know you're any good" 7 minutes later man says to Valentina "Like I said I'll pay £200 an hour I'll pick him up at six. >:)
