"Thank you very much. This evening, there is quite a program in store for you, we're going to be here for quite a while. And, earlier today during rehearsals, we had decided we had better put all of the more strenuous pieces up front, so that after we have keeled over from exhaustion, there would not be any great effort needed for the end of the program. Consequently, this next song that we are about to do is the most difficult song that we have on the program this evening."
