#21 - La cosa nella Musica

   The teapot in Music

When  looking for   teapots in the musical world, I found that they were mainly the subject of popular nursery rhymes  and traditional poems for children  dating back to the nineteenth century. I have chosen  '' I am little teapot'' and '' Polly put the kettle on''

                                    


                                    '' I'm a little teapot''




''Polly put the kettle on''
