It all starts with good taste and propriety. He plays around on the piano as if searching for the perfect opening chord for his next sonata. Failing to get his attention, his visitors leave the room. He stops playing and begins snorting a bit of cocaine. He then puts on some sunglasses and transforms into a fantastic Beethoven\/Ray Charles combination that only the mind of Belushi\u00a0could dream up.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gQRBIWrUXR4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent&#038;listType=playlist&#038;list=PLB6AFC082F9FADC31\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<h3>For Another COFFEE BREAK, click <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musicaltoronto.org\/category\/coffee-break\/\">HERE<\/a><\/span>.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong><em>#LUDWIGVAN<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Want more updates on Toronto-centric classical music news and reviews before anyone else finds out?
