Not many people remember….blah blah blah…Dudley Moore….Classically trained pianist….underrated…blah blah blah.
Anyway, fans of the fugue - as I’m sure you all are - will get a kick out of all juice he gets from the central motif* from “Colonel Bogey” - not to mention the false bottom(s) he sticks on it.
Also, you know, the term “Classically trained pianist” can mean both “Someone who is a classically trained pianist” and, more frequently, “A famous person who can play the piano”. Moore was very definately in the former camp - check out the part that begins at 1m35s. That, people, is not chopped liver.
* Yeah. Central Motif. Suck it, haterz.
