Karl Valentin - Die Orchesterprobe

Short Film/Comedy, Germany 1933

Not available in your country
An orchestra rehearsal turns into absurd theatre. The trumpet is "tuned" with the help of a cutlery fork, the violin bow is abused for a fencing duel with the baton of the bandmaster, and as a "timpanist" Karl Valentin playfully masters four instruments simultaneously. Speech-analytical dialogues and grotesque sound poems round off what is probably Valentin's most famous play.
