More Hazards of Autistic Children
One of Aran's favorite songs is Bach's "Little" fugue in G minor. We were leaving his piano lesson when he mentioned this (again), and I started humming it.
"No!" he admonished. "It's in G, not C."
"Oh," I said, chastened. "Give me a G, then."
He sang one, and I started back in again.
"You're off," he said.
I tried again, paying more attention to the flats.
"That's better," he said, and then he joined in when the second part of the fugue began. We got a good piece of the way through it before the laughing got in the way.
