every time I hear the Rondo to the 4th concerto, I think of the "Ill Wind" bit that Flanders & Swann did on their "Drop of Another Hat" album. You know, the one that goes:

I once had a whim and I had to obey it,
To buy a French horn in a second-hand shop.
I polished it up and I started to play it,
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.


The cadenza is especially good.

Plumrose Danish Ham did the same for Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and who can listen to the Wagner Ride without thinking of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny?
