Humoresque is happy music which never fails to make me smile.
I have violin selections by Elman, Kreisler, Heifetz, Zimbalist, Barstow that I also enjoy.
Thanks for this post.

It's great when one has never dreamed that they would be listening to classical music,
suddenly find they enjoy it without even knowing...

I liked classical music as a child. In my teens was thrilled by Emerson, Lake and Palmer's, Pictures At An Exhibition.

Playertone-Your Playertone has a nice tone to it.
Roaring 20s- I find that I enjoy listening to classical on an acoustic machine is nice. It is not too demanding on the reproducer and it sounds pleasant. I like it when the arrangement is simple or just instrumental soloes (soli?). Violins sound especially nice on my Victor IV.
