| Hi, List.  In collecting rolls, I've found a short list of classical
and light classical numbers which were parodied as popular songs,
usually rags.  I've listed those I have found, and am interested in
finding out if anyone else has any additions.  I've all but two on
rolls, 'That Loving Melody...' and the Confrey 'Traumerei'.  I realize
that there are many others, but here's what I have found:
 Humoresque - Dvorak         Humoresque Rag - Gall
 Spring Song - Mendelssohn   That Mesmerisin' Mendelssohn Tune - Berlin
 Gypsy Love Song - Herbert   Gypsy Blues - Eubie Blake
 Merry Widow Waltz - Lehar   Merry Widow Rag - Eubie Blake
 Melody in F - Rubenstein    That Loving Melody Rubenstein Wrote
 Traumerei - Schumann        Traumerei Parody - Zez Confrey
Regards,
Bob Loesch
