Music Piece
This is one of my favorites. I love the Blue Danube edition Tom played downstairs before attacking Jerry. Does anyone know where I can get its full version because he stopped playing it as he chased Jerry. I have played it myself but my notes were not reflected in Tom's marvelous edition. So does anyone know the title of the specific one Tom was playing?

Another combination of great music and Tom & Jerry hijinks. The highest point, to me, is when they're formally introduced to Emperor Franz Josef and his entire court, to the opening fanfare of "The Emperor Waltz".

Unusual setting for a Tom & Jerry cartoon, but familiar chase mayhem.
The star of the show, though, is the truly amazing Blue Danube piano soundtrack.
