And there, almost lost in the big chair, sat Wolfgang, her 4-year-old brother, who never had to be told to keep quiet when Marianne was practicing.
One evening the father patted Marianne on the shoulder, saying she had done very well. At the moment, Wolfgang climbed on his father’s knee and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered. What a joke that was! Picking up his baby son, the father laughed, tapped the tiny nose and said, “Look at your small hands. Why, you cannot span(够着) the notes yet. You must wait, little man!”
There was no end of fun during tea, and Marianne had to tell her mother about Wolfgang wanting to play one of the classics. After dinner Marianne helped clear away the dishes when the father lit his pipe.
But the pipe went out. He was on his feet, “Listen!” he said in an astonishing voice. “Listen! Marianne is playing that piece much better than ever,”he added.
But Marianne was washing pots in the kitchen.
His wife following, he walked quietly upstairs. The lamp in one hand, his pipe in the other, he pushed open the door, and there was little Wolfgang playing in the darkness. “I love it so!” whispered the child.
