Oh For Godsake That Is Kind Of Obscenely Fantastic, Isn't It? I Would Love To Use This In A Film Shoot.

Oh for godsake that is kind of obscenely fantastic, isn't it? I would love to use this in a film shoot.

That fellow's ring is *quite* disturbing.

I do like the lighting very, very much.

Sibelius seemed to prefer the ultra-short form in most of his work for the piano. And nearly all this work suffers from being kitschily/kitsch-silly and unfortunately titled with salon-type names (the New Age of its day): romance-this and flower/garden/sonnet/allegory-that. No matter. There is much rich material in his piano work and while their lack of extended structure may mean they are fated to be too little programmed, that is no reason why they shouldn't be played and heard, either by musicians looking for fresh reading material or composers seeking motifs to adapt, sample, inspire, enjoy. Sibelius is my favorite symphonist. As a piano player I lament the lack of native work (other than perhaps opp. 41 and 67) for the instrument, but I'll dig all the deeper for what is there.

Doctor, there is a horse standing on my piano.

Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy in Wrong Again (1929, dir. Leo McCarey)

Original production still caption: Laurel & Hardy discover it was famed painting “Blue Boy” they were supposed to deliver and put on the piano. They brought Blue Boy, the horse, who appears to be on top of the situation.

I guess, rather than music for 4 hands, it would be music for 412 bones.
