That reminds me of a sketch from Morecombe and Wise (for non-Brits: this
was a stand-up comdedy show from 1970s British television.  It was of
extraordinarily high quality).  It was where Eric Morecombe was
pretending to be a concert pianist playing Grieg's piano concerto under
conductor Andr=C3=A9 Previn.  As his limited pianistic capabilities becam=

clear, on being accused of playing wrong notes, Eric replied, holding
Andr=C3=A9 threateningly by the lapels "I'm playing the right notes - may=
be
just not in the right order!".
