"He was forever the eternal prankster and once wrote a piece for piano that could only be played by having the pianist stretching his two hands to the fullest, and simultaneously hitting the middle notes with his nose. Made for great entertainment when the world famous court pianists thus were ridiculed in front of kings and queens."
