Rhapsodies

Okay this one’s a bit of a stretch, but I have seen it defined it as such, and since I like to throw pop examples into the mix it’ll do. So this week’s Rhapsody is Scene’s from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel. Thinking about it I don’t think counting this song as a Rhapsody isn’t too strange. The way it goes all over the place in style to the point it is essentially three songs fused into one I think counts as “irregular in form as much as anything else does. Still it’s one of my favorite Billy Joe songs. I usually like his more experimental pieces the best so it’s great to see one like this be on his top ten list of greatest hits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au74rR9lIYQ
