Little Fingers Round

The first lesson at the music school, Nastya, eleven: are you the new teacher, I have no patronymic, then Sam, son of America, deal, sit down and play, it's a bit fast, well done, now nice and slow, little fingers round, as if holding an apple, like this, once more, softly, and don't rush.
