Additional Credits:

Overview: Emerald Productions Presents: Franz Liszt Liebestraum. An overhead view of a piano keyboard is displayed as a pianist plays, however there is no sound. A man appears and repeats his introduction a few times discussing the music that we have just heard (or not!). He seemingly gets frustrated with his inability to perfrom. His voice continues and sometimes doesn't link with the visuals. Clips reveal that he is also the pianist. He continues to speak but his voice does not coincide with the visuals. Clips of he, the pianist continues. He wears glasses as the host but not as the pianist. He continues his frustrations. The clip ends with the man speaking silently into the camera.
