* GoneHorriblyRight: For a measure of the "horribly" part. Tom's practice playing the piano to catch Jerry leads to him ''being summoned for a command performance by the Austrian emperor!''

* InstantExpert: Tom learns how to play the first nine notes of ''The Blue Danube Waltz'' from a guidebook and becomes a master pianist ''immediately'' after.
* InvoluntaryDance: Jerry simply can't resist dancing to Strauss's music, which naturally gets exploited by Tom. Near the middle of the short, Tom goes from chasing Jerry back to playing the piano, and Jerry immediately stops fleeing and dances back in the direction he came from... right towards the waiting Tom.

''Johann Mouse'' is an animated short film from 1953, directed by [[Creator/HannaBarbera William Hanna and Joseph Barbera]], starring WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry.

This one is a little bit different, setting Tom and Jerry's antics in 19th century UsefulNotes/{{Vienna}}, specifically in the home of Music/JohannStrauss. Jerry is Johann ''Mouse'', who lives in the Strauss home. Jerry has a compulsion which causes him to come out of his mouse hole and dance whenever the master of the house plays a waltz on the piano. This always draws the attention of Tom the house cat, who chases after Jerry.

Eventually Strauss goes on a trip. This is disconcerting to Tom, because without the waltz music, Jerry won't be coming out of his hole and Tom won't be able to catch him. Tom decides to learn to play the piano himself in order to lure Jerry out. This has unintended consequences.
