Title:
Victor Borge improvising on the piano

Description:
Victor has just finished conducting at one of his 80th birthday concerts and the crowd reaction was so good that the violinist, Anton Kontra, suggests an encore.

Watch Victor's facial expressions in the 2nd half as his partner escalates the action.
