Excerpt from The Kreutzer Sonata: A Play in Four Acts Scene: Drawing-room in Raphael Friedlander´s house; Krementschug, Russia. Noon of a day in May. Doors, R. 2 E., Back L. C, and L. 2 E. Wide window back R. C, through which the city is seen. Curtain rises on Celia, practicing a difficult etude. She sits on revolving piano stool, down L. After the curtain is up she continues, trying the same passage over and over again. As she begins the passage the third time enter Natasha, R. Natasha has a work basket, knitting material, etc. She glances at Celia, who continues practicing and does not see Natasha. Natasha places her things on table, down R., and sits at table; begins knitting or sewing, glances at Celia, sighs and looks up, as if wishing Celia would stop. Celia begins the passage all over again, and Natasha can´t stand it. Natasha. Oh! (Celia starts slightly; stops playing; sees Natasha) Celia. Good gracious, nania, how you made me jump! Natasha. Jump? The stones in the street will jump if you play that any more. Why do you go over it, and over it, and - Celia. (Natasha continues sewing) To acquire a brilliant technique on the piano one must practice a great deal. Natasha. You´ve practised for nine years, barushnia Celia. Celia. Oh, oh! Natasha. Nine years. You were nine years old when that fat old German professor taught you your scales. (Celia bus. of denying this) Nine years old, barushnia - and you´ll be eighteen to-morrow. Celia. Seventeen. Natasha (Tranquilly) Eighteen. "Celia rises and goes to C.) Celia. Natasha, can you count eighteen? (Natasha gives her a tranquil look) You can only count to eleven! Aha! (Celia, C., curtsies mockingly to Natasha, and then makes a turn around the room) Eleven, and I am seventeen!
