I've read that many of Schubert's piano duets were purposely written to have
a lot of hand crossings because he had an attractive piano student with whom
to play them.

Para m�, la m�sica es la respiraci�n de la vida y de Dios.
Per me, la musica � l'alito di vita e del Dio.
Pour moi, la musique est le souffle de la vie et de Dieu.
F�r mich ist Musik der Atem des Lebens und des Gottes.
