A true tale: Mozart and Hayden(sp?) were great friends who liked to play jokes on each other when they were able to meet. Once Mozart handed Hayden some music to play. The right hand came to a high chord, the left hand came to a low one, and there was a middle C to be played as well. Hayden stopped, unable to see how to play it, so Mozart showed him how. When Mozart came to that passage he swooped down and played the middle C with his nose. Later, when they were laughing about it Hayden said "But with your nose it looks easy."
