I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order! 😜😂😁
I'd be grateful if you could give the video a 👍and subscribe if you're new to the channel.
In 1971, the pianist and conductor Andre Previn was invited to perform in a sketch which involved an orchestra: the serious-minded maestro playing straight man to Eric and Ernie.
As a composer, Previn worked on films such as Gigi, Porgy And Bess, My Fair Lady and Irma la Douce - and he won best music Oscars for all four.
He later left Hollywood to conduct orchestras and was principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra from 1968 to 1979.
But for many, Previn is probably best-known for trying to help Eric Morecambe as the British star attempted to perform Grieg's Piano Concerto during a sketch.
Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, known as Morecambe and Wise, were an iconic English comic double act, working in variety, radio, film and most successfully in TV. Their partnership lasted from 1941 until Morecambe's death in 1984.
