I encountered this piece by Marc-André Hamelin's performances in Dec. 14, 1997 and Jan. 1999, where even Hamelin himself exaggerated the clown-like movements throughout the piece, e.g. standing up to strike Db1 by his right hand, or... I can't explain it with my English limit, so make sure to search his performance in 1999.
honestly with music, if you play something with your whole chest you can usually get away with a lot more dissonance than what’s “acceptable.” it applies a lot to jazz, but i think even with classical music, if you are unapologetically composing something this dissonant it ends up working out (i’m thinking of shostakovich or scriabin as examples)-kind of like “wow; this is hot garbage, but i can’t stop listening” 💀 i unironically love this piece lol
If you are going to play this yourself: don't do as I did and miss the octave change at 00:14 and the A-natural at 00:28 (and its repeat). When slip ups like these add up, you risk the super silly structure of the piece falling through into one of mere everyday goofiness, certainly not the composer's intent.

@@Yipee566 hamelin has played this piece, and in my opinion his performance is the funniest so far xd this is probably one of hamelin's many influences of humor in his music
one of my favorites is Hamelin playing Doucet's Chopinata in some pub-like venue in Stockholm and the audience keeps laughing at every new strain, such a fun piece and atmosphere ruclips.net/video/UIIb1XJtG-I/видео.html&ab_channel=tompilk
I like Schedrin! I bought an LP on a whim once, of him playing some of his own music. Among others his second piano concerto, which is extremely metal (and sometimes jazzy)
I've always loved this piece and I think you played it very well. Maybe you can do something more with "morendo"? Also, I'm baffled people can hate this piece... 😳
I remember when I performed this once when I was 14 the audience broke out in laughter at one point. Was I trying to become the heir of Victor Borge? 😂
I love this. I’ve always done something similar with Chopin’s Op. 64 No. 1, I just make everything in the right hand cluster chords and it sounds like clown music. So fun!
Interesting... I think Debussy had opened the way to ironic music with Minstrels, for example ( and not only with that piece...) but... Also Descriptions Automatiques by Satie has its place.
I don't want to make ads for my own music here, but a few years ago I also tried to write a piano piece as unserious as possible, the Bagatelle WoO 0 in my channel
I wnjoy the dissonance in the chords, I've been a huge fan of Luigis mansion and deeply adore all of those fanciful melodies. Classical music always has dissonance, tension, chord blocks, etc.
I did not know this piece and enjoyed the chance to hear it. Nice work! For me, the Shostakovich Polka (though a transcription) is the funniest piano piece: ruclips.net/video/87mQGWv-ybk/видео.html There's barely a bar that doesn't make me smile.
You are to be commended for this very humor-filled humoresque. Here is actually one by Liszt with perhaps an equally amusing take: m.ruclips.net/video/STktOiesn1k/видео.html&pp=ygULRm94IGZPTExFVFM%3D

The ending is as silly as possible.
more like heartattact xD
The stupid and meaningless dinamic changes between pp and ff makes it even funnier
I LAUGHED AT THE ENDING BRUHHHH
Sounds like someone trying to play Bohemian Rhapsody drunk
Thanks for the video idea
It reminds me of Milhaud's Songs of Brazil
Hits different when you're high on caffeine

I've played this, the hate is unjustified, you just gotta roll with the dissonance and the weirdness.
I thought you meant Charles Ives played this until I looked more carefully XD

Mere everyday goofiness. Someone put this on a shirt.
Don't worry about it. The spirit came across. Great job! Never heard of this composer, let alone this particular piece.
I don't see the problem with this piece. This seems nice to me :)
I was forced to play this piece as a child and I hated it. Thanks for sharing
Crappy piece indeed, never heard it before but already hate it. I'm sorry you had to play this

I'm saddened by these comments, no one else actually likes this lol. It's going straight into my playlist though.
I like it
I like it, it has a lot of things to appreciate
I enjoyed it
these mfs aren’t true music lovers like we are 💔
Sections of this are clearly the inspiration for Pink Floyd's "The Trial," which is the climax of The Wall.
_"May they never know your next move"_ (the whole piece is in Db major and it is resolved with a surprising Eb chord)
I think it’s quite innovative, actually. A few techniques like this get used in notable pieces like Chopin’s “wrong note” etude.
I love this! Nice performance for such a tricky piece
This is a great piece to audition to Juilliard with, but if it was me, I’d opt to go with 4’33”
Good suggestion, that piece was a hit with my mom’s friends when she asked teenage me to play for everyone at a Christmas party, though most of them did leave before I was done.
@ well that was rude of them. It was probably too complex for their simple ears.
The end is gold.
why so serious
Okay, but I actually wanna learn it

I love that he uses two bass clefs; a fair few pianists will have been caught out by that one😅.
Nice piece!!
Why am i vibing with this so hard tho

so much Prokofiev in it
Ok i gotta play this after Schumann Humoreske to end my next recital
Or better yet, begin your recital with it

Good thought about morendo since he does put that in just at the end…so many opportunities for silliness
the interval, the dynamic, the tempo, lol
Very interesting. Never heard it before.

It has some of the flavor of Shostokovich!
You need to check out Lord Berners "Polka" and "Strauss Strauss and Straus" as well.
bro is NOT in Db
disagree lol… even though the harmonies are very grating/dissonant, the piece is still clearly in Db major to me?
Reminds me very much of Prokofiev's Cinderella ballet, which I have played a few times.
Hey heads up, do not turn your volume up for the last chord. It's a trap.

You should try Bolcom's Dead Moth Tango. I'm sure you'd kill it. It has a similarly funny vibe, but maybe slightly more sardonic.
I love Bolcom’s rags, and some of them can be silly at times. Don’t think I’ve heard the dead moth tango before, will check it out!
I don’t know what piece this is, but I actual really like the feel of it haha :)
Did you hear some Prokofiev's Toccata quotation? 😅
An RCM classic!!
Krouchtchev humour

I wnjoy the dissonance in the chords, I've been a huge fan of Luigis mansion and deeply adore all of those fanciful melodies. Classical music always has dissonance, tension, chord blocks, etc.
strong influence from Prokofiev!
BRUH, this must have inspired Roger Waters when he composed the Trial piece of The Wall.
Or he came up with it on its own.
Me when... Me.
This is music
Can I have a copy of the sheet music?
This is why I love seconds. Look at something like Kapustin's Etude in seconds for example, definitely the funniest interval.
wow seconds ARE the funniest interval which explains why sevenths are the second funniest bc they’re inversions of seconds

Goofy ass piece 😜
All the haters of this piece have no sense of humor!
assai con buffo e elegante
Took "humor" in "humorusque" seriously
a lot of Poulenc’s songs are funnier and more ironic than this tbh! Great piece though i don’t get the hate
подскажите мне, где нужно смеяться.
Sometimes it is a delayed effect because humor takes time to absorb into certain types of people. Be patient and eventually you will start laughing.
heheheha
It is funny 🤣
Why not just improvise your own silliness?
It’s easy to play the piano in a silly manner. It’s rarer to crystallize silliness in musical notation, which is what makes this piece special, to me.
