I learned in 1946, but I had my teacher's daily and undivided attention after
that (since I was his only student) until I was twelve years old, and the

seventeen. I remember very clearly. Have you forgotten how you were instructed
after what-- thirty, forty years of daily practice?

Unfortunately, just asserting it was "exactly the
same" doesn't make it so (especially at a distance
of, what, 60-some years).
