Who was the 19th century Hungarian composer who wrote a rendition of "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2?
Convict Concerto Woody is a shy piano tuner who is held at gunpoint by a bank robber named Mugsy (Daws Butler) who is on the lam. Mugsy hides out inside the grand piano Woody is tuning, and directs him to start playing immediately. Mugsy plays part of Frédéric Chopin's Funeral March to threaten Woody, who replies with a rousing rendition of Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2." He manages to play the entire piece while being harassed by the gun-wielding Mugsy as well as a bricks-for-brains policeman (also Daws Butler) hot on the trail of the stolen loot.
Mihály Erdélyi Mihály Erdélyi (May 28, 1895 - January 27, 1979) was a Hungarian composer, lyricist, actor, and producer, particularly prolific in the interwar period. Erdélyi was born in Szeged in 1895 and began a career as an actor then a stage producer, but became most famous for his operettas, including "Csókos regiment" (1932), "Fehérvári huszárok" (1933), "A csavargólány" (1936), "Sárgapitykés közlegény" (1937), "A zimberi-zombori szépasszony" (1939), "Sárgarigófészek" (1940), "Vedd le a kalapod a honvéd előtt" (1942), and "A két kapitány" (1943). Many of his songs have entered the Hungarian musical canon as folk music, often without an awareness of the original composer.
