Hazel Quinn: Hey, I like that story, Marie!Shame they didn't move it from Downing St to me!!
Marie: Hi Hazel, love your site. My claim to piano fame is my brother's in removals and had to move a grand from 11 Downing Street - down stairs. Needless to say, there were many hands that day.

Dudley Moore's Beethoven Parody

I heard this many years back and never forgot it, it was SO brilliant. It's Dudley Moore's parody of Beethoven's sonatas. I love it because it is so accurate and so funny but, I feel, a compliment to the maestro.

At the time this was recorded I was a Beethoven freak and enjoyed every nuance. This is the 1981 version and I include it because this performance was the first time I heard it so it is special to me. If you're a purist and want to see a recording from the 'Beyond the Fringe' era in the 1960's then please visit:

WOW!Holy CRAP that was amazing! I had no idea Dudley Moore could play the piano - such a waste of talent, I think, eh? He got lost in the alcohol...
