Many of Gorin's aphorisms became popular among the Soviet people, e. g. piano in the bushes,[citation needed] which means painstaking preparations for a would-be impromptu.[2] This particular one appeared in a humoresque called Quite accidentally by Arkanov and Gorin, published in that 1966 book.[3]
