Quite a funny bit from the 50s - make sure to watch it to the end.

Good advice there Flare, the end is certainly the best!

And today a pupil studying piano who is also a computer programmer plays only in the key of C# !

"Grieg's Piano Concerto............................by Grieg"

Sadly You Tube videos (and therefore a link) of Morecambe and Wise's sketch with "Andre Prevue" are blocked in the UK. Its not just hilarious. Its utterly unique and more so for the committed performance of Previn himself whos mock incredulity takes it to the very top level.

If you are the single human on the planet who has never seen it - google fu it and find the full sketch not some rehashed cheap TV voiced over version.

Likewise Les Dawson (ideally before the BBC props department and the writers decided a trick piano was actually better than some of the most subline discords ever heard - the dry mock sincerity and timing within the pieces of music are masterful)

Brings back fond memories. As a little chap, my folks would let me stay up a little later to watch Victor Borge on the Ed Sullivan Show. Along with Topo Gigio, that was a real treat on a school night!
