	Rhapsody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In poetry, a rhapsody is an epic poem, or part of one, that is suitable for recitation at one time, such as a book of Homer's Odyssey.
		Generally, a rhapsody is an effusion, such as a speech, letter, or poem, that is composed under excitement and is without connected thought or sound argument.
		Rhapsody (OS): the code name for an operating system for the Apple Macintosh that was based on OpenStep and eventually evolved into Mac OS X.

	Hungarian Rhapsodies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hungarian Rhapsodies, (S/G244, R106) Rapsodies hongroises or Ungarische Rhapsodien) are a set of pieces of music by Franz Liszt, originally for solo piano.
		In their original piano form, the Hungarian Rhapsodies are noted for their difficulty (Liszt was a virtuoso pianist as well as a composer).
		It became a permanent part of cartoon history with its use in Friz Freleng's Rhapsody in Rivets (1941), where the construction of a skyscraper is synchronized to the rhapsody.

		In ancient Greece, rhapsodes were a class of reciters of epic poems, especially those of Homer, who performed at festivals.
		It is enough to say, without applying this poetical rhapsody to Aouda, that she was a charming woman, in all the European acceptation of the phrase.
		And probably the half-unconscious rhapsody was a Fetichistic utterance in a Monotheistic setting; women whose chief companions are the forms and forces of outdoor Nature retain in their souls far more of the Pagan fantasy of their remote forefathers than of the systematized religion taught their race at later date.

	IGN: Comics in Context #101: Classical Chuck
		That's why Rhapsody Rabbit doesn't work for me. This is a nasty version of Bugs: when an offscreen member of the recital audience keeps coughing, Bugs pulls out a gun and shoots him.
		At the cartoon's end, Bugs is cowed by all the notes in the rhapsody's final measures, prays and is about to attempt to complete the performance, when it is instead finished by the mouse, now wearing tails and playing energetically at a tiny piano.
		I'd say that Rhapsody Rabbit seems more like a vehicle for Daffy Duck, who is more suited to occasionally playing the villain and bullying mice (as he has repeatedly tried with Speedy Gonzales).

	The Cat Concerto Controversy (Mystery Solved?)
		According to information available on the internet, both "Cat Concerto" and "Rhapsody Rabbit" came out in the same year, 1946, and their screening at the Academy was marred by scandal and reciprocal accusations of plagiarism.
		Like my father in "Rhapsody Rabbit," the pianist in "Cat Concerto" performed incognito, and, so far as I know, his true identity remains either unknown or undisclosed to this day.
		Bugs's Rhapsody begins with a galvanizing burst of dramatic energy, whereas Tom's opening chords are sombre and slow - very slow - an eccentric tempo my father would never have chosen.

	Welcome to The Florida Orchestra
		Although many people will never attend a live performance of a Rossini opera, such as ""The Barber of Seville'' or ""William Tell,'' they might be familiar with snippets of the music.
		The ""Largo al Factotum'' from ""Barber'' was heard in the 1949 Bugs Bunny classic ""Long-Haired Hare,'' and a year later, the Overture popped up in ""Rabbit of Seville.'' Of course, everybody knows ""William Tell'' as the theme from ""The Lone Ranger.'' Expect to hear these pieces this week.
		Hearing these pieces as cartoon soundtracks is one thing, Haig says, but hearing them as pure music played by an orchestra will reveal them as marvelous creations that stand the test of time.

		I spent just as much (if not more) of my time with these cartoons listening to their soundtracks as i did actually watching them.
		I don't think i would know who Franz Liszt was if i hadn't seen Bugs Bunny play his Hungarian Rhapsody no. 12 in "Rhapsody Rabbit." It's embarrassing but true.
		I went on to play a classical instrument in grade school (which went on through high school) and was able to supplement what i'd learned from Bugs and company with some non-cartoony pieces.

		For quite awhile (virtually until it turned up in French one night in 1989 on a Bugs Bunny et ses amis show), I thought it to be 15 minutes long (that's how it had been slotted back in '72), some kind of dark Bugs Bunny special.
		Still later I saw syndie packaged prints of "Rabbit Hood", "Napoleon Bunny-Part", "Hurdy-Gurdy Hare", "Guided Muscle", "Which is Witch?", and "Bowery Bugs" on WLBZ and remember thinking that these cartoons (except for "Bowery Bugs", which seemed a bit different) could be on The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show and puzzling over why they weren't.
