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

This music is definitely a cut above the rest.
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.
