Beethovenian variations on the theme of Colonel Bogey from the film The Bridge on the River Kwai, played and composed by a great English comedian. Now this man had clear ideas and had studied well, even if he wasn't a composer.

This version is even more beautiful (fewer winks) ...
Must also see the parody of Schubert's Erlkönig.
But I wonder: if a comedian proposed something like this today, who would understand it?

I have followed your extensive reflection; one needs to know who Beethoven is (and well) to understand whom they are referring to ... oh well.
In fact, the laughter of the audience was a pleasant surprise.

Here is Schubert: a reading of Erlkönig in a schizophrenic key (genius).
