This is so hilarious that even Tchaikovsky would probably love it. Mr Borge was a genius and a very talented pianist. He mixed his natural comedian art with his musical talent and the result was this!!
Victor included a lot of improv in his comedy work. If you watch his comedic performances, many of which are on YoutTube, he makes it sound as though he's only a mediocre player - with a lot of tone clusters and 'faked' riffs. But when you watch when he's playing 'seriously' - he proved that he was quite talented. =)
Oh my gosh, I LOVE THIS!!!! That was also the firstreal falling-off-piano incident I've seen from him. The VCR's I grew up with, he just slid off the bench towards the piano. AWESOME!
Victor Borge is so lively and so funny it's hard not to mistake him as a muppet.

This and the many other Season 4 sketches on Youtube make me wish Disney would hurry it up and release Season 4 on DVD.

It would be much better if Animal were playing the entire percussion section.

Love that downward bit at 1:35. And I'm going to be geeky and say that I like that F in the bass of the piano at 1:38 too.

"It's a short piano..." LOL, this has to be one of the best fall-offs he's done, the way he hits the high notes while mid-air is just gold. :)
