I enjoyed that piece a lot. XD I think my favourite bit was also your favourite bit. It does seem really playful and happy, which is a contrast to the beginning. What a cool guy. B)
You'd be surprised. I've met people who didn't know what a Clarinet is. I mean, I can sorta understand not knowing a Bassoon... but a CLARINET. I mean, come on. That's common. And playing music isn't for everyone- don't have to play it to appreciate it though! I love playing- I love any form of creation. Art, music, writing, etc. So it goes without saying that includes playing my saxophone. <3

People enjoying a classical piece of music in this day and age? Blasphemy! xD It's a fun piece- common too in commercials and older cartoons. I think most people have heard it and may not realize it. I remember rehearsing it for the first time thinking "This is vaguely familiar" - then we get to that really silly part and I'm just "OOOOH! THIS PIECE!!" - Thank goodness the saxes have the melody there. xD Then a few lines down we've got high F#s which caught me entirely off guard. Not a note we see often- we don't usually go past a High C# in most songs (if even that far)- and not all saxes have the key for the high F#- it's the highest note that the instrument can play through keys. Any higher is all embouchure.

There's a lot of music out there most of us have heard at some point or another and might not know by name. This is one of those for me- didn't know the name til recentlydespite the fact that I think another one of the Hungarian Rhapsodies was in the Saxophone Bible. xD
