Talk:Leroy Anderson

message: I certainly have the feeling that biographical details about Leroy Anderson are sketchy. I have never known whether his music was his main career or an intense (and lucrative) hobby. Could the composition of fifty or so short pieces of music, even these exquisite minatures, have really taken up all of his time? I am certainly grateful for the Leroy Anderson music we have, but, as with Gershwin, one wishes there were more, and, unlike Gershwin, one feels there could have been more. The Piano Concerto is absolutely wonderful, despite some soft spots—there are places where it seems more like a medley than a concerto; it would have been a tragedy if this work had remained under wraps.

message: Here's a link to a MIDI file of the Final Jeopardy music. 
On the whole, I don't think this is worth mentioning in the article. There is a tick-tock effect, but I don't see any strong resemblance.
Personally, I think it is closer to the music for "I'm a Little Teapot" midi here or here. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

message: A question for clarification... Is Jazz Staccato an alternate title for Jazz Pizzicato or are they two different works? Jazz Legato and Jazz Pizzicato were both recorded on June 18, 1950 (Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops), though Jazz Pizzicato is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article. I am not previously aware of Jazz Staccato. I may just be an ignorant fool. If so, would someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance, Gazza1685 23:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I attended the 1992 Cincinnati Pops concert in which the Canadian youngster Stuart Goodyear performed the concerto, immediately before Telarc recorded it. The opening bars sound like a long-lost Russian (Rachmaninov?) piece. But a minute or two in, a bar or two of "Fiddle Faddle" spills the beans and lets you know this is a uniquely American work. --Nuance 4 21:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The Irish Washerwoman is traditional, not composed by Anderson. Maybe arranged by him? In which case, does it belong on the list? Rees11 (talk) 20:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's hard to tell in that list, perhaps, but it's part of The Irish Suite, which are all arrangements by him. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 21:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Is there someplace on wikipedia which explains it?  What I played in in a high school orchestra was apparently an abridged version, which seems to have given way to original longer version. Carlm0404 (talk) 03:14, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
