famous composer, Josef Haydn was present. Mozart bet a case of champagne that Haydn could not play at sight, a piece Mozart had just written. Haydn accepted, sat down at the harpsichord and began to play. He had only played a few bars when he had to stop, as the music required him to play two notes at either end of the keyboard and one right in the middle. He declared that it was impossible to play with only two hands! Mozart then took his place at the keyboard and when he got to the “impossible” section, he bent down and played the middle note with his nose! Haydn had to reluctantly concede!
