HERBERT VON KARAJAN & ARTURO TOSCANINI PAINTINGS WITH SOME MAESTRO HUMOUR.

Portraits of Karajan and Toscanini painted on canvas;






TAKEN FROM THE NET
"A musician was walking in a street when he saw a little shop with the sign: “Musical pets”. With great curiosity, he walked in and saw a beautiful parrot: big, elegant and with a green, yellow, red and blue plumage. He was really impressed and decided to buy it.
The dealer said: “Good choice! He is $10,000”
“$10,000!? “— Replied the old man — “Why is he so expensive?”
“This beautiful parrot can sing all Mozart Arias by heart!”
“Really? Amazing but he’s really a bit too much for me “ when he said these words he noticed another parrot, a bit smaller than the other and less colored. “He must be cheaper,” he thought so he asked the price to the shop owner.
“Oh, That parrot costs $20,000”
“$20,000!“ - said, the customer shocked “Why?”
“Besides all Mozart, he can sing also all Wagner and Verdi Operas....
“Astonishing, but he is really too much, listen that old decrepit looking parrot there in the corner it MUST be cheaper, right, how much is he?
“Well, that is $100,000”
“What?! exclaimed the poor man, totally upset - "What can he do?"
"Oh, actually he does nothing but all the others call him MAESTRO!""
