"That's so beautiful, what you're listening to," your friend tells you. "What is it?"
Uh... uh ...
Don't you hate it when a piece of music has an embarrassing name? Here are 5.
1. Dvorak's "Dumky" Trio.
2. Tchaikovsky's "Doumka."
3. Completing this "dumb" trio, Stravinsky's "Dumbarton Oaks."
4. Gustav Holst's "The Mystic Trumpeter" (and his now forgotten cousin, John Alden Carpenter's "The Anxious Bugler").
5. Let's be honest. Elgar's "Nimrod."
