A musical joke. This is a revision where pizzicato trills were omitted.

Outdated Mp3 with the pizzicato trills was replaced by the actual new one

A humorous piece that wasn't too short, which I really enjoyed. I could easily imagine a solo violist standing on stage and playing the piece with all the different articulations that a viola can offer!

My only criticism concerns—as @Luis Hernández already mentioned—the trills and tremolos. While notation software usually delivers acceptable results for articulations such as staccatos, accents, etc., the automatic unfolding of trills and—even worse—tremolos is usually unusable. To get around this problem, you could try “writing them out” (for this you need a second version of the score, intended only for the MP3 output). I always do this when I use trills and tremolos. In this case, you can “fine-tune” the dynamics of these trills/tremolos, which significantly increases the realism.

Thank you for your contribution and welcome to the forum!
