When Polish pianist Ignace Jan Paderewsky played before Queen Victoria, he won
her enthusiastic approval. “Mr. Paderewsky," she exclaimed, “you are a

Paderewsky shook his head. “Perhaps, Your Majesty, but before that I was a drudge," he replied, alluding to the number of hours he spent practising every day.
