The sad thing is that there is a whole generation to whom this ancient artifact would have to be explained... they wouldn't even know what a typewriter IS much less how it is supposed to look or sound. 😕 Excellent performance 🙂
Well, that generation reguarly uses the same keyboard layout from which the typewriter evolved. They do that everytime they either text using the Querty keyboard layout on their mobile phone, or every time that they use a laptop or desktop computer. More than 20 years ago, when I first had an old computer (before the days of Windows or other operationg systems), I bought a programme (app it's called these days) to teach myself to touch-type (without looking at the keyboard, as I am right now). I'm so glad I did! My problem now is, that I've almost forgotten how to write using a pen!
My son taught himself touch typing just by using the keyboard enough 🙂I guess that's just the generation he's in (he turns 25 in another month and a half). As to writing... schools don't teach handwriting or cursive anymore. We pulled him out of public school after 8th grade and homeschooled; in spite of him being near top of his class, his deficiencies were such that he was taking remedial work all the way back to the 5th grade level, and the work included cursive instruction. It saved him. He is just short of the criteria for dysgraphia, and being able to connect the letters meant he could get an entire word at a time from brain to pen instead of stopping to form each letter. He's a success story, though 🙂 He graduated college and is now a mechanical engineer in training. Most kids of his generation know keyboarding but not "typewriting", and an actual physical typewriter is an anomaly of the past. The clacking sound of the keys and the bell? Unheard of. And the touch feedback of a typewriter and a keyboard is completely different. Heaven forbid some mass catastrophe happens and we have to depend on handwriting for communication... cursive will become a code language.
@@SharonYoung I would never have guessed that cursive writing would actually help someone with any disability that makes writing difficult. I am so glad you were able to get your son on a learning path in which he gained a foundation for achieving a lot. (Mama Bear!)
Shame they didn’t use a real typewriter. I have seen it done with the ‘typist’ actually typing, doing full carriage returns etc, and showing the typing to an audience member to read out. Perfect typing!
Wikipedia: Leroy Anderson (/ləˈrɔɪ/ lə-ROY) (June 29, 1908 - May 18, 1975) was an American composer of short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. John Williams described him as "one of the great American masters of light orchestral music."
The comedy is the 'Concerto' itself which is a classic - particularly when performed 'live'! The silly 'comedy' detracts from the whole point of the piece, delays the performance and shows that Germans don't have a particularly 'sharp' sense of humour! It fell 'flat' and didn't feel 'natural'!

Prosit Neujahr aus Wien, absolut gelungen, Klarinette und Schreibmaschine im Duett, sehr gut mit dem Orchester abgestimmt, immer gerne gehört😊
I had heard of this piece, but I had not seen a performance before this one. Thank you!
Auf English: I haven’t heard that tune in more years than I’d like to think. Sehr gut!
Spettacolari bravissimmi👏👏👏👏👏

Great
Most entertaining!
What a surprise for me very entertaining
This is a take-off on Jerry Lewis movie, "Who's minding the store" Lewis had a scene doing this.

Why was the office floor wet? The typist.

Wonderful performance - after all that rubbish at the start!
that rubbish as you put it is part of the performance...it's classic comedy
Rather frustrating - but funny - up to a point.
Michel LEEB l'interprete merveilleusement !!! Introduction trop longue
Michel Leeb, admirateur de Jerry Lewis, l'a souvent imité (pour ne pas dire plagié....) !

Wasting time
The typist is dragging the joke out too far.
Is this German humor?
The piece was written for the Boston Pops Orchestra in 1950 by Leroy Anderson, who grew up Cambridge, Massachusetts. His most famous pieces are probably "Sandpaper Ballet", "Sleighride" and "Trumpeter's Lullaby".
With so much chaos and hate in the world, a little humor is a welcome relief!
Könnte glatt das Original sein.
