The Apple Tree The Apple Tree is a series of three musical playlets with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Bock and Harnick with contributions from Jerome Coopersmith. Each act has its own storyline, but all three are tied together by a common theme (someone who believes that they want something, but once they get what they wanted they realize that it wasn't what they wanted) and common references, such as references to the color brown. The first act is based on Mark Twain's "The Diary of Adam and Eve"; the second act is based on Frank R. Stockton's "The Lady or the Tiger?"; the third act is based on Jules Feiffer's "Passionella". The working title for the evening of three musicals was "Come Back! Go Away! I Love You!"

Weihnachtsbaum (Liszt) Weihnachtsbaum (English: "Christmas Tree"; French: "Arbre de Noël") is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands. "Weihnachtsbaum" does not demand great virtuosity, and it has been described as a distant relation of Schumann's "Kinderszenen" and Debussy's "Children's Corner". It occupies an unusual place in Liszt's output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers.
