Trionf! as the little Dragon-slayers declaim over the swooning Tamino, in the first scene of die Zauberflöte:

I have just, in the last couple of days, played straight through every goddamned one of the preludes and fugues in the first book of the Wohltemperierte Clavier.  Skipping none because it was too hard.  Maybe by the time I'm eighty I'll be able to play 'em right.  Of course, I continue dinging away at the second book, which in a funny way (it being more emotional) is easier for me than the first book--even in weird keys with lots of double flats and sharps.
