You have a sore throat and with every moment you feel more and more like coughing, but now? Impossible, how embarassing would it be in this situation! The atmosphere is ripe with expectation…

So in the end you start coughing, and try as you might, you can’t stop it, choking.

Anička from our song had the same problem – and it wasn’t some innocent little cough in the silence during a pause in a concert. Delicate situtaion, don’t you think?

 

Only few people know that the name of the model from the famous painting by Gustav Klimt was Anička and that the painting was originally to be called “Suppressing Cough”…

You’ll find a lot in the scores, such as some rather difficult bass techniques for the left hand or a hellish solo in semiquavers. But – of course – you can play just the simple bass accompaniment a you don’t have to play the solo at all. And when you sing and cough a little, it’s a nice easy song, isn’t it?
