Concerto for Riding Lawnmower/John Deer

Warning, this is a work in progress; the weedwacker omitted the rest in m.4 and the cadenza is rather lackluster, I'm afraid.  :-[

Oh well; comments welcome!  :)

I specifically stated in the score the blade should have a 42'' inch cut!  Yours does not.  F@#%ing amateur.  Play it right or don't play it at all!

Excellent. 

I think it needs a prelude. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.
