Examples

““A gross cartoon. Music? Your dear fool of a mother spent hundreds on lessons. You've dabbled and failed. You've never even earned a five-dollar piece by accompanying some one at a concert. Your songs?—rag-time rot that's never printed and that's sung only by a pack of fake Bohemians.””

“Так што Ганс Глюке недарма лічыў сябе не якім там дылетантам, а сапраўдным знаўцам мастацтва.”

So it was not without reason that Hans Gluck considered himself not just some dilettante, but a true connoisseur of art.
