Though, I couldn't figure out why the dominant looks so angry  :P

I'd have given the fellow a small moustache and a side-ways-haircut.

Or like it was tripping, falling forward.

Well, it's dominant!  V of V even more so!

Will anyone be able to hear this again without seeing these faces?

Strange as it sounds, wolfi, I found myself yearning for the return of the first theme, and her familiar face!

Will these bits become like the Flanders and Swann Mozart lyrics, forever wedded to pieces in our minds?
If video makers are this clever, soon the entire classical repertoire will be nothing but cartoons!

I have one I would like very much to make, although I lack the artisitc and technical know-how.  The middle movement of Beethoven 110 I believe to be, deliberately on Beethoven's part, a Tom and Jerry cartoon.  (The first phrase, I have read, comes from a German children's song about cats.)  The first two phrases are the cat stalking then leaping.  The syncopated rock-and-roll bit shows the cat racing around the furniture after the mouse.  In the middle section we hear the tip-toeing cat in the left and the scurrying mouse in the right.

Many people play this movement without a trace of humour, but I'm certain it's there.
