Composed for Shiau-uen Ding’s Liszt Bicentennial Bash
One of my favorite movies is still “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” There’s that great scene in the burlesque house where Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 is rendered by the dueling pianos of Daffy Duck and Donald Duck, one of many cartoons to pilfer Liszt’s classic. “You’re Despicable” pays tribute to that heritage.
