(Posting my favorites today, as they appear on my radio station. )

1. Love it. Used to play it (very badly) when I was taking piano lessons.

It's way harder than it sounds, which is true of a lot of Mozart's music.

2. I'm sure it's true of a lot of Mozart's music.

Have you ever noticed the resemblance between it and this?

3. My parents had his LP, "Time Out,"

and that piece was on it, along with "Take Five." I've never been much of a jazz fan but I did like that album. You can definitely hear where he got "Blue Rondo."

4. I'm not a jazz fan either,

and that album is my ONLY 'like!'

5. Another jazzy take ...

with the incomparable Cleo Laine and husband John Dankworth (sax, clarinet).
