I found the following information on www.tomandjerrycartoons.com

The Cat Conterto - (7 min. 49 sec.) 1947

Just Brilliant! Tom is a concert pianist and Jerry is asleep on the hammers of a grand piano. After being jolted awake Jerry is content to listen to Tom play but tom will have none of that and he finger-flicks him, crushes him under akey and then hits his skull with a tuning wrench. Jerry, quite upset, slams the key lid on Tom's fingers, tries to cut off Tom's fingers with a pair of scissors, and catches him in a mousetrap. Jerry raises the piano bench to a great height before Tom grabs him, shoves him between the hammers and beats the living daylights out of him. I laugh every time I see it. Jerry finally starts playing from inside and Tom tries to keep up... Tom finally falling exhausted on top of the piano.

notes:

Music - "Credits" (Chopin arr. Bradley); "The Cat's Concerto" (Liszt arr. Bradley); "On The Atchison, Topeka, And The Santa Fe" (Warren-Mercer)
Won the Oscar for 1947
I can't say enough about this one. A masterpiece! "

I've seen that episode, I don't know what its called though.  , I love Tom and Jerry.  I feel sorry for Tom all the time though, Jerry can be so nasty to him.  poor kitty   

I remember on one episode, I'm not sure if it is the same one, Tom and Jerry are fighting over being the conducter, and in the end Jerry takes out all of the players by cutting around their chairs, and it ends with Tom trying franticly to do everyones job at the same time.

I think it's sad that today's filmmakers can't get their movie stars to play piano in sync with the audio track, but filmmakers from sixty years ago had no problems doing it with an animated cat.

ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH RHAPSODY RABBIT?[/color]

lol... I have too much time

Although I'm a huge Bugs Bunny fan, Cat Concerto is way superior to rhapsody rabbit. It looks like the animators just got really lazy with Rhapsody Rabbit or were working on a way tighter schedule.

I also remember hearing that Jerry's hand motions were based off of Horowitz' (animator's trick).

Cat Concerto is also responsible for bringing us Lang Lang (or for some, inflicting Lang Lang upon us) into the classical piano world, according to him.

On an offside note, I've never heard the piece with the exact same arrangement twice. Ever! And I've listened to a LOT of recordings and videos. My fav so far have been Horowitz and Tom's .
