And who is to compose the third act?
AMADEUS
It can be given as a fragment, with some kind of ballet as a filler.
ALBERT
Right you are! Something like "Harlequin as Electrician," or "Forget-me-not." (He goes out)
AMADEUS (remains alone for a while; at first he seems to ponder on something; then he returns to the writing desk and falls to work on his papers; a knock is heard at the door leading to the garden) What is it?
PETER (outside)
It's me, papa. Can I come in?
AMADEUS
Certainly, Peter. Come on.
