Length: approx. 2 ½ mins.
From Soup to Nuts is a light-hearted imaginative piece with many fine touches. It the title on the front cover of the original sheet music, the word "two" is replaced with a dance pair. The centre piece is formed by a 9-course menu, itself wittingly entitled
Me 'n U! The courses are:
- Hors d'oevres: El Delirio a la Winne
- Potage: Cécile a la McKee
- Poisson: Sûr le flot a la Berger
- Entrée: Idealle a la Crescenzo
- Sorbet: Congatulations a la Europe
- Roti: Dindonnade a la Crescenzo
- Salade: Chinchilita a la Hartz
- Dessert: Delicioso a la Dixon
- Cafe: La Brulante a la Winne
The items on the menu are obviously all insider jokes the meanings of which long lost in ragtime history. A gourmet piece for delicate tastes!
A tempo of 90 crotchets/min. is suggested.
