"Sometimes, the Angel [of Music] leans over the cradle... and that is how there are little prodigies who play the fiddle at six better than men of fifty, which, you must admit is very wonderful.

And sometimes, he does not come at all, because the children have a wicked heart or a bad conscience."

-- Gaston Leroux
