In this clip from the 1950's-60s British comedy group "Beyond the Fringe," Dudley Moore plays a very funny but also very musically well-done parody of a Beethoven Piano Sonata, using the famous whistling tune from "Bridge Over the River Kwai" as a thematic subject.

No cue cards, no teleprompters, and no second takes--legendary funnyman Sid Caesar pioneered live television sketch comedy with his 1950s sitcoms Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. This classic sketch is "Argument to Beethoven's 5th," Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray play a married couple in a argument with pantomimed action and the dialogue is classic music.Enjoy!

Legendary concert by legendary pianist Claudio Arrau.

Telecast March 22, 1952 from Carnegie Hall, New York City for the second movement go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijiHzheK4GQ from an interview by Robert Stumpf II with Bob Bloom, who played with Toscanini: I played for him for six years. He yelled at me a lot, but as a father. After awhile I became, from those in the orchestra, possibly closer than anyone else to Toscanini. Away from the podium, he was like a little child. He loved music. In his study, he would show me Puccini's snuff box, Verdi's eye glasses. He treasured these things. One day I was visiting him and he asked me to stay for lunch. I could tell he was very tired, and we had finished our business, so I told him that I didn't have to stay. I said, "Maestro, you look tired. Why don't you take a nap?" He said, "I've been up since five o'clock this morning studying this symphony." The symphony that week was Beethoven's Fifth. I said, "Maestro, how many times have you conducted that?" He answered, "Oh, hundreds." I said, "And you're still studying it?" I loved his answer. He said, "Well, I'm always afraid I may have missed something." This is how he really felt about music.

One of the all time classic videos.

Friedrich Gulda - beautiful & funny

Brendel playing beethoven piano concerto n°3 in C minor, op.37, first movement (allegro con brio), with claudio abbado, and the Lucerne festival Orchestra. I posted the same concerto by zimerman. Brendel is very good, but zimerman is still my reference. everyone who has seen this video will agree with me. his cadenza is outstanding. brendel's version is still great, he is one of my reference too ! for the orchestra, i prefer bernstein who is a little more passionate, but abbado makes the orchestration clearer
