Igudesman & Joo carry on in the tradition of classical musicians who appropriate their technical skills for the good of melodic comedy (e.g. PDQ Bach, Victor Borge). Witness the piano and violin duo in absurdly choreographed routines that showcase the insanity lying at the heart of the music world: a little housekeeping, hacking Rachmaninoff, and deconstructing Gloria Gaynor. (Rainer Hersch has claimed prior art on the Rachmaninoff trick.)
