The story is one of a man who wants to learn to play piano. Quickly. He offers a huge sum of money to the piano teacher who at first does not want to teach him, but then relents. It quickly becomes evident that the pupil has no musical talent, but that this lack of musical abilities is more than adequately compensated by an abundance of money. He massacres Beethoven's 9th symphony (or was it the 5th) on the piano, but he has to learn very fast.
