Là où il y a poésie, l'anglais n'entend que bruit.Oscar Wilde, Yeats, Joyce et Beckett même, en ont fait les frais.Là où ça pue la boucherie et le charnier, l'anglais rit : il se sent chez lui...Home sweet home...

D'une débilité affligeante.Ce genre d'humour me rappelle la délicieuse élévation d'âme avec laquelle la grande Angleterre, en Inde, a systématiquement coupé les doigts de milliers de tisserans indiens, patients héritiers d'un art millénaire, ce, afin de pouvoir écouler sur le marché indien les merveilleux produits de l'industrie anglaise...Aucun anglais n'a-t-il jamais senti la profonde poésie de Beethoven ?God save english cynism and ignominy !Vivent les guerriers Zulu !

Beethoven would have been tickled pink! He ADORED musical humor.

You haven't heard the finale of the 5th symphony, have you?

Absolutely brilliant!!! LOL,Dud wherever you are.

Can't help thinking about the words: Hitler has only got one ball. Goering had two, but very small. Himmler had something similar but poor old Goebbels had no balls at all.

Agreed, IsaacIsaiahMusic: But was that technical aspect of Mr. Moore's performance done intentionally for laughs? Don't forget: He has to sell the joke, as well as the legitimacy of the seriousness of the piece. Not an easy thing to do!Bottom Line: This was a parody; It was done for laughs: It was a witty, poignant piece of British irony, sarcasm & slapstick. The "dodgy" playing may have been done on purpose: This wasn't mean to be considered for the Chopin Competition. Cut him some slack.

Some passages are piss-poor. The playing is dodgy at times also.

I remember being shown a bound copy of one of his string quartets at the Bodleian, submitted as part of the requirements for his BMus degree at Oxford. Didn't see if it was pastiche, though.

Brilliant! This is such a clever Beethoven pastiche. |
