I'm surprised Frank Corsaro didn't think of it first .. or perhaps he did!

What would this be called in ballet, a "grande lune de recourbement"?

Remembering Wagner, maybe he would have wished that he'd thought of it first!

Very good! or perhaps "attitude lunaire"?

Of course, Mel, Wagner would have orchestrated the gesture with a multi-chord sforzando from the brass section.  With extra euphoniums for emphasis, eh?
Now that's what I call Gesamtkunstwerke!

    Do we have any posters in Brazil (Gomes/Korbes fans?) who can let us know how the situation shakes out? Will he pay the fine, go to jail? or will they come to their senses?
