A piece of music.

[Lonestarr]

This morning, I saw "Pigs in a Polka". There's this one piece of music that I'm dying to have identified: the scene is when the wolf disguises himself as (I think) an old woman. He's playing a melody on a fiddle. Two of the pigs decide to let him in, but the third pig sees through the ruse. Can anyone help me?

Well, like the wolf says at the start of the cartoon, all the music comes from the Hungarian Dances by Brahms. He wrote 21 of them in all. If you're talking about the sad tune the wolf-in-disguise is "playing," it's Hungarian Dance #17. There are lots of recordings of many of the Hungarian Dances; there's a complete set on the Naxos label, which usually sells in the 5 - 6 buck range.
