In my opinion this is the greatest comedy bit ever. Rowan Atkinson 'plays' the piano in the manner of a cartoon character. This was a part of Amnesty International's 'The Secret Policeman's Ball' filmed in 1979, and also starring John Cleese, Billy Connoly, Michael Palin, Peter Cook and many more.

Nov 22, 2008 - The fact the Pathetique intro (in C minor) is transposed to match the key of the Moonlight finale (C# minor) is a nice touch.

Dec 3, 2008 - Rowen is a comedy Legend, much better then anyone else. Lee Evens couldn't of done that.. he can't do faces like Rowen.. Rowen likes to keep himself to himself irl and likes his privacy... so don't mistake that for him beeing a twat.. anyone who can make you laugh by not saying a word is a great comedian
