Thanks A. Scherze, I enjoyed that, Very good example of what I was saying.
That was fantastic!

In its way, rather ... Emersonian ...
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Also a bit like PDQ Bach:
They used to do a show stopper, in which PDQ Bach's Sonata for Bassoon vs. Piano was on the program. However when it came time to play the piece, the stage manager (William Walters) informed the audience that the pianist (David Oei) had gone out running and hadn't returned. So Professor Peter Shickele performed the whole thing himself, playing both instruments at once. Until the final bars, where Shickele is going through the bassoon cadenza, looking increasingly desperate - and Oei, wearing a running suit and shoes, bursts in the doors at the back of the auditorium, races down the aisle, and slides across the stage on his knees to play the final chord.
Good points, though there's a whole continuum spanning composition, arrangement, etc. Timbre vs sheet music was already old when Mike Oldfield beat it to death on Hergest Ridge.
"The passages of horror just before heard are given, indeed, to the indescribable children’s chorus at quite a different pitch, and in changed orchestration and rhythms; but in the searing, susurrant tones of spheres and angels there is not one note which does not occur, with rigid correspondence, in the hellish laughter." (from Doctor Faustus, Thomas Mann, 1946)
... “there’s a million ways to learn” (which there are, by the way), but ironically, there’s a million things to eat, I’m just not sure I want to eat them all. -- Jeff Berlin
Love the pianist video. In my original post, there's no way said artist could watch that and say that she didn't belong on stage. Total class act.
