"There are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect"
"Though filmmakers had been toying with synchronised sound for almost as long as motion pictures have existed William K.L. Dickson's 'Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894)' is a remarkable piece of cinema history audiences didn't get their first non-silent feature film until 'The Jazz Singer' in 1927. Why, then, would the "Cinemagician" turn his attention so early towards a short film based around music? Viewed today, and often presented in complete silence, the two-minute film seems to be lacking a certain rhythm, regardless of its visual triumphs. ..."
