I was crying listening to this. So awesome.

"It only had a range of about a minor third, but that was all PDQ Bach could handle."

[blystyryng]

ha, the props you can give Shickele have no end :) such broad knowledge of performance on every level is necessary to parody it so well.

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get a wire music stand and a bassoon bocal and make some music.

I wish he were my long lost uncle.

@BarbaraPloyer333 it's from well tempered klavier.. vol I prelude and fuge d minor

[cyberg00se]

@wardka I'd also dare to put The Folksmen in that category.

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Oooooh- close one! LOL.

Thanks so much- you have no idea how much I appreciate it.

[calogria]

Almost! Well-tempered Clavier (not to be confused with PDQ's "Ill-tempered Clavier"), first book, fugue in D major.

[jujupans]

HAHAHAHA!!!!! Alcohol Dating!!!! LMAO!!!

[BarbaraPloyer333]

PDQ Bach.... ah, what a composer! Ha ha ha ha... makes it seem so serious, yet it's really hilarious!

"PDQ Bach has been called a pimple on the face of music." So funny a metaphor!

Excuse the ignorance, but does anyone know the name of the of the piece by Bach at 4:12? I know I've heard Glenn Gould play it before, but i can't seem to recall the name. Is it from the English Suite?

[ceb2633]

Sigh, the happy hours I spent in Baden Baden Baden absorbing PDQ Bach! Actually I actually was treated to a whole evening of Peter S. many years agol My ribs are still sore from laughing. Wonderful!
