Joke in A-flat major

The final piece of my four Piano pieces set and just a lame joke. Can be developed into a postmodern minimalistic masterpiece by repeating the joke forever and forever......

Hope you enjoy this one!

Fun little piece. I especially loved the middle section with the change of tempo and key. The ending? Really sounds like a joke!

Excellent!  Needs to be given to beginning music students so they can learn to follow repeats. 🙂

Haha thx! Tho here it repeats more than usual for humorous effect, as a joke told more times it should it becomes a lame joke!😛

That's what would make it fun for teachers to inflict it on their students. 🙂

Lmao!

Your own B-A-C-H motif, perhaps? 🤔

hahahahahaha. I am much used to A-R-J-U-N-A motif now as I'm composing Arjuna's @expert21 Violin Sonata now, first 3 movements completed and working on the last movement of variation!

I lol'd at the ending 😄 

Congrats, this is now begrudgingly stuck in my head. How dare you craft such an invasive little earworm

😛 

The ending is pretty weird; but it definitely made me laugh! (So lived up to the title.)

Hope you're fully recovered from your recent illness Henry.

Sending good wishes,

Alex

lol, like Eric Satie's Vexations?

but on a more serious note, I do like this piece, it is so classical yet so catchy and fun, something I would like to play, especially if forced to choose a classical piece that are not the ones I like , the boring ones.

Also, this is generally suited for children and beginners to play, maybe at a slower tempo.

One issue might be that it looks quite easily to trip off when playing in a fast tempo.
