This is called Dance of the Goblins by Bazzini. Ronde des Lutins I think. this dude is so freakin awesome, its so hard to sound good on this piece.

Catherine O'Hara as Joan Crawford in "Humoresque" -- how funny! Eugene Fodor, tragic genius, R.I.P.

I saw this SCTV episode when I was about ten. I was already playing double bass at the time. It inspired me to get my master degree in music. Now I work in IT. DAMN YOU Eugene Fodor!

@geigenmarie OK, after turning up the volume I think I heard that note played very slightly flat. In filming this segment he probably did not get much of a chance to do any editing. The reason Heifetz never recorded any of the Paganini concerti was because everything was recorded live back then & he was always afraid of playing a note or two slightly out of tune in which he couldn't have it corrected. He had quite a reputation to uphold, as some believed he was incapable of playing a wrong note.

@geigenmarie Every virtuoso has a special skill in which they become famous for. Fodor had 3: down bow staccato, left hand pizzicato, & flawless intonation. Although my ears are not anything like Mozart's, I could not detect a single note even slightly out of tune. Then again, I just got done listening to one of Michael Hegeman's YT videos, so my ears might be slightly out of adjustment.

Congratulations on your recent tour. I'm very proud of you!

The "film" was called "New York Rhapsody", about a tenement kid, who becomes a violin virtuoso, then goes into moral freefall with Joan Crawford. Sadly, it seemed to reflect his own real life.

a brilliant performer and gorgeous man - a shame that he couldn't handle the fame. RIP Mr. Fodor.
