Dr. von Lyric's "Curious and Amazing Cabinet of Musical Marvels and Miracles"

"This is a most trenchant and probing analytical study of the 19th century cult of the showman-pianist and a poignant and ominous deconstruction of the brutal perils and bruising violence coupled with the disturbing grace and hysterical delicacy latent in pianistic virtuosity."

"Encore! Encore!"

"We will be revisiting this genially brilliant anarchist in subsequent postings." - Dr. von Lyric
