I've actually played this show. Linden is pretty good. He plays an
excerpt of the last movement of the Mozart K.622, after the following
comment:

"Now I'd like to play the Mozart Concerto for Clarinet."

"I'd **LIKE** to play it, but I can't. So instead I'll play part of the
last movement!"

It's a fun show.
