Anyone remember an awful Sci Fi movie called The Gamma People?   Gamma radiation screwed up a group of people and made them like Zombies.
One of them turned out to be a genius named Hugo. He was instructing a little girl as she played piano. He was brow beating her with statements such as, "Music should be a precise configuration, not a sentimental noise."

When it comes to music theory, I feel like a clam digger at a MENSA convention.
