Le Petomaine played 'music' out of his ass.
He'd suffered a swimming accident in his youth which left him with a
distended colon. He learned to take on air, store it, and using controlled
'breathing' and a sphincter able to respond to his 'ear', was able to play
many popular tunes of the day. He also extinguished candles from a
distance of 5 meters. He outdrew Sarah Bernhardt.

One presumes he charted his own solos, but improved the ocassional
SBD.
