Roth: ...Is there anything I can do to
better the cause of this enlightenment that you strive to do
through your teachings? I feel compelled to spread the
word. Whatever you ask of me, I will go forth with my best
efforts. Tell me, wise master, is there anything such a
humble one as myself can do to encourage others? Anything
you ask, anything at all...
Workman (raising his hand): Give it a rest! My
anticipation grew as I waited for you to take a breath.
Yes. I wish for you to compose an original work for
Hosaphone(tm) and piano, such that it can be performed on
many trumpet recitals such that players and listeners alike
do not forget the simple truth of making music and look
deeply within themselves for the answer to many problems.
Roth: I feel a commission coming on!
Workman: As you should. It will not be a difficult work to
perform and will be a short one at that. Like something to
be placed at the end of the recital so that others may leave
with the knowledge of this enlightenment.
