Ugh. I couldn't bear to hear it all the way through. Actually I fell asleep after the 4th measure. Woke up several hours later and he still had a long way to go before he would reach the end.

I kept worrying that some hot ashes from that cigarette would fall on his keyboard.

One of the funniest remarks on this forum -- some while back.

One contributor referred to Edward MacDowell's "Witch's Dance."

He said he played it so slowly, it might be renamed "The Elephant's Dance."

And then he does it again, more than twice as fast (this time with caffeine):

Faster, faster....

Which reminds me of a joke, not really fit for the Forum (PM me if you're curious).

Had no idea that the Moonlight Sonata could be played THAT slow!

Amazing....he should be commended for trying to get something out of that tempo.

And the cigarette....such disrespect...ugh...

Please tune the piano. It's cruel to play them when they're in such bad shape.
