Amusing. But I'm losing interest part way through. This kind of humor ends up turning from mildly funny to kind of stupid quick. Dumb jokes, longer pieces. And they run out of ideas or keep reusing the same ones. It is kind of like those 'what's wrong with this picture' things.

80's hair too.

I thought this was that pianist who hired an orchestra and did concertos at first. That one who was bad, but no one told her, and no one knew if her concerts were meant to be very serious or not.

At first I thought it was some sort of reverse keyboard. If you keep watching there is more stuff. I like how the conductor looks like he is daydreaming and picking at his baton and the orchestra keeps going, like the are cueing him to begin conducting at the right spot.

The repetitive single note pizz was played with such authority.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I just laughed so hard when she hurt her finger in the beginning, and looked at it like OW, and the conductor gave her the stink eye. And really. When the conductor walks in with a cast on his arm. what. lol

and the strings...they look ridiculous.
