- Sheet music for that never-ending piano piece was published
- recently in a new edition of the script of "Beyond the Fringe,"
- the Cambridge-originated revue that Dudley Moore created along
- with Alan Bennet, Peter Cook, and Johnathan Miller. The book also
- provides notation for several of the art song parodies that were part
- of that show.
