Hey so this piece is really dumb but I really like it for some reason. :blush: Enjoy!

I enjoyed it. It is a nice variation from "Three Blind Mice" that makes you forget the original and its simplicity by the end, ending on a more serious note. The use of pedals, especially towards the end also was a nice touch, adding gravity to the piece to contrast with the simple and light-hearted (or "dumb", as you have rather harshly characterized it) beginning. I think it is this great contrast that is the greatest merit of this piece.

Hmm... I assume you were somewhat setting out to do something like a contemporary equivalent to Mozart's Variations on "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman". I actually quite like it too. It goes into some pretty dark places to be based on a nursery rhyme. It could even be expanded into a full set of variations, I think, if you ever wanted to do such a thing. I have to say, if you set out to write a piece everyday, and this is one of the "dumb" results, then that is something to be proud of.

Well, I thank both of your for your comments. I might do that, but I thought the source material was a little too immature or faulty to really do something with it, but we shall see.
I just think it's dumb simply because of the unnecessarily dark takes on the nursery rhyme, but I still do like it! :) Thanks again.
