But in spite of my surprising progress my teacher did not foresee what my future was to be. 'When he is fifteen,' she said, 'if he can write a dance, I shall be satisfied.' It was just at this time, however, that I began to write Mp3 Music. I wrote waltzes and galops–the galop was fashionable at that period; it ran to rather ordinary Mp3 Musical motives and mine were no exception to the rule. Liszt had to show by his _Galop Chromatique_ the distinction that genius can give to the most commonplace themes. My waltzes were better. As has always been the case with me, I was already composing the Mp3 Music directly on paper without working it out on the piano. The waltzes were too difficult for my hands, so a friend of the family, a sister of the singer Geraldy, was kind enough to play them for me.
