>From the latest Musical Heritage Review, on piano four hands:

		That the close proximity on the piano bench was not merely
	a *musical* desideraturm is suggested in a piece by the last of the
	Bachs, Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst; called punningly *Das Drieblatt*
	(The Trefoil), it calls for three players -- a guy and two dolls.
	The gent sits in the middle, playing the high treble and the low		bass, necessitating putting his arms around his partners waists.

						-David M. Greene

This fellow Greene routinely digs up obscure facts and commits bizzare
puns.

Of course, I wouldn't mind reversing the roles(!) -- bet your piano teacher
didn't tell you about THIS piece.
