All right. Come on. That's all right. Don't be timid. [the soundtrack timidly comes to the center of the screen] Atta soundtrack. Now, watching him, I discovered that every beautiful sound also creates an equally beautiful picture. Now, look! Will the soundtrack kindly produce a sound? [it is silent] Go on, don't be nervous. Go ahead. Any sound. [blows a "raspberry", vibrating as it does so] [chuckles] Well, that isn't quite what I had in mind. Suppose we see and hear the harp. [it plays a glissando of the harp] Now one of the strings, say, oh, the violin. [it plays a violin ascending up, then down, then strings plucked] And now-- now, one of the woodwinds, a flute. [the soundtrack plays the flute] Very pretty. Now, let's have a brass instrument, the trumpet. [the soundtrack plays the trumpet, and blows a loud note of the last one] All right. Now, how about a low instrument, the bassoon? [the soundtrack plays a minor scale on bassoon, ending on a very low note] Go on. Go on. Drop the other shoe, will you? [it sounds an even deeper note, obviously the lowest] Well, now to finish, suppose we see some of the percussion instruments, beginning with the bass drum. [it starts with the bass drum, the crash of the cymbals, drum snare, plays the drum roll of the snare, and ends with the ding of the triangle] [laughs] Thanks a lot, old man.
