Featured review
This has to be one of my all time favourite Tom and Jerry cartoons. First of all the music is absolutely outstanding and is incorporated really well into the story, which is simple but very effective. The animation is also of true beauty, this is probably one of the better looking Tom and Jerry cartoons or so in my opinion. The sight gags are wonderful, extremely clever and put to perfect use. And Tom and Jerry are both great here, Tom flawlessly performs Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2, something I hear a lot in cartoons, while tormenting Jerry(and vice versa) in the process, while Jerry serves as a perfect and somewhat cute foil for him. Overall, if you love Tom and Jerry and classical music this is a must see! 10/10 Bethany Cox

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWas the focus of a short and bitter flurry of allegations between Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) of plagiarism over similarities between this film and WB's Rhapsodie à quatre mains (1946). The controversy began when raw film from "Rhapsody Rabbit" was sent to be processed at a central film lab which serviced both Warner Bros. Cartoon Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Cartoon Studios. By accident, the finished negatives were sent to MGM, who eventually returned them, but Friz Freleng (the director on "Rhapsody Rabbit") suspected that Hanna and Barbera or others at MGM may have viewed the film before sending it on to Warner Bros. Hanna and Barbera counter-charged that Freleng had somehow overheard their ideas for "The Cat Concerto" and acted on it.
- GoofsThe promotional poster depicts the cat-and-mouse duo wearing pants and shoes alongside with their tailcoats with dress shirts underneath and bowties; but in the actual short, don't wear pants or shoes at all.
