Lang Lang



Lang Lang (b. 1982) is a classical pianist from China.

He appeared in Sesame Street Episode 4084 to audition for Oscar's Grouch Symphony Orchestra. Bob is amazed that Oscar and the grouches are making him audition, but Lang concedes by playing Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" and Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2." The performances are so beautiful that he doesn't make it into the grouch orchestra until he leans his elbows on the piano keys in defeat. Intrigued by this new development, Oscar invites him to join the orchestra in a rendition of Blechtoven's 9th Symphony for Two Elbows in E Very Flat Minor.
