I remember what was probably Alexander’s last lesson, although presumably he didn’t know that it was at the time. In this particular case, he was taking an old lady who had been a pupil of his for some years… So here was this old lady and when F.M. finished the lesson, he patted her on the shoulder and said, ‘Now, my dear, see that you don’t stiffen your neck, and see that you’ve always got something to look forward to.’ And that was the summary of the whole thing. As advice for the last lesson, I think it really does cover the essentials very well indeed.
