Tahiti-Trot
The Tahiti Trot is Shostakovich's orchestration of "Tea for Two" from the musical No No Nanette by Vincent Youmans. Shostakovich wrote it in response to a challenge from conductor Nikolai Malko: after the two listened to the song on record, Malko bet 100 rubles that Shostakovich could not completely re-orchestrate the song from memory in under an hour.
