All the more astonishing that it was composed by a fourteen-year old
(Rosita Melo) in 1911.

On the goofy fun side, check out the Rodriguez's tango-foxtrot (sort
of) called 'Concierto En El Parque', which features snippets from
famous melodies. One of these is Wagner's 'Wedding March' from
Lohengrin (aka 'Here comes the bride'), and another is the finale of
Rossini's Overture from his opera William Tell (aka the gallop that
became the Lone Ranger theme).
