Classical corner

As is the case with many people, I got an early taste of classical music from Bugs Bunny cartoons. Here is Rossini's overture to The Barber of Seville, parts of which form the soundtrack for the classic Warner Bros animated short, "The Rabbit of Seville".

That's okay, but Alfalfa did it better.

Cartoons are where I learned my love of classical music.

V: I dunno. His audience didn't seem to like his performance

For your appraisal, some recently released performances by my favorite pianist, Tiffany Poon, and Jan Vogler on cello and Chad Hoopes on violin: Dvorak Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90, B.166, "Dumky": I. Lento maestoso

Also: Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90, B.166, "Dumky": II. Poco adagio

And finally: Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90, B.166, "Dumky": III. Andante

Actually, there are three more selections, but I got tired of typing links. Look for them in the recommended list.

I almost forgot. A solo performance of Humoresques by Tiffany: Humoresques, Op. 101, B. 187: VII. Poco lento e grazioso
