I'm sure it sounds even messier than it looks.

Actually, from what it looks like, it might actually be tonal considering the absence of the abundant sharps or flats present in atonal music.

I have seen this particular "piece" many times posted before. Is this official?

lol I love how it says "Gradually become agitated" lol what an understatement by that point if there  ever was one.

by the way I cant believe some of you are taking it seriously.  Read some of the words like adding a bicycle to the piece lol and the gradually becoming agitated right before the notes just blow up.  come on y'all.

Ill find it on my hard drive in the depths somewhere...
I think it's great. More like artwork than music. I want a poster of it for my bedroom wall...  ;D

hehehehe

I saw this once on the bullitain board of a local university.  The message said: "This is the only piece that you need to play for your end of term jury"

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
