Aren't I the funny guy? Well, here's some music that tries to evoke a feeling of comedy. It does so by moving in less predictable things, and playing a bit with staccato and legato. Although it sounds somewhat sophisticated with all the chromatics, it's actually pretty easy to play! Scores: github.com/shimpe/easy_piano_scores
In the next piece we will take a morning walk.
"Easy Piano" consists of a series of pieces for which you don't need to be a very advanced player. Despite being called "easy" the pieces are not trivial, and will most likely take some practice. In the "Easy Piano" playlist, the pieces are ordered from easy to more difficult (but even the hardest piece in this series remains accessible for players that are yet to reach intermediate level of playing). Some pieces are only easy if you first take the time to work out a good fingering (ask your teacher to help you :) )
Note: more advanced players can use these pieces as sight-reading exercises, or as a basis for improvisations, either at the piano by enhancing the music as written, or using a second instrument by adding extra melodies on top of the piano music

![Funeral Song - orchestral version with MuseScore 4.0
On the occasion of the just released free and open source MuseScore 4.0 sheet music editor, I reworked a piece I wrote a few months ago into an orchestral arrangement. You can hear the previous (very diiferent!) version of this same piece at wikiloops.com (at https://www.wikiloops.com/backingtrack-jam-251773.php). Wikiloops.com is a website where Ive been happily collaborating with musicians from all over the world in the past few months. If you feel like playing or composing with other musicians in all kinds of musical styles as well, be sure to check it out!
(Interestingly, I couldnt find how to display the score with correct transposing for the different instruments - either the option is hidden very well, or its not yet present in this entirely renewed version of MuseScore 4.0.)
[Note: after a few hours more searching, I did find the concert pitch button. Its hidden in the bottom of the screen - not sure who thought thatd be intuitive... but at least its there. Too late for this video though.]
