"Three Entertainments" are light-hearted, descriptive vignettes - have fun with them! If it feels right to add a trill or a glissando, please do so. "Top Hat" was written to evoke tap dancing and I had in mind two old gentlemen who are "trading moves", perhaps in memory of earlier performances together.
Enjoy this performance of "Top Hat" by the Artamus Guitar Trio; from their self-titled album available in GooglePlay, iTunes, Spotify, and many other online portals.
