The sarcastic rendition of “Hail to the Chief” is understandable given that this sonata was written around the time of Watergate. Professor Tonsing marked an approved cut to eliminate this section if performers desire.

Starting at 19:56 you can hear a pre-taped rendition of "Hail to the Chief" that the players are supposed to record beforehand and play at that point in the movement!

Funny story about his film role. In the spring of 1978, I was in Professor Tonsing's freshman music theory class. One of the executives on the film had ties to Oklahoma State University, and decided to film some of the scenes in Stillwater. They put out a casting call to recruit locals to serve as extras in the film. Professor Tonsing applied and was given the role of news stand employee. The director wanted him to have a maniacal look in his eyes, so immediately before the scene was shot, she said something very insulting to him. Then, "action". The scene was filmed on a weekend. The following Monday, he discussed the experience in class. One of the students said that the director probably insulted him to intensify his angry look, and professor Tonsing agreed!
