Musical Interlude: Let me wisk you off to the concert hall, where we'll hear the overture to the opera "Euryanthe," which is almost never performed as while the music is good, the libretto blows.

Musical Interlude: In keeping with tonight's Romanticism with Art, here's some Romanticism with music. Pablo de Sarasate was a violinist who took up composing mainly as a way of creating music to show off what he could do with the violin...and let's be honest, he succeeded. And created some good music in the bargain.
"Caprice Basque," composed by Pablo de Sarasate, performed by Antal Zalai.
