The "weird" sounding pieces......

Im just started playing Toccata by Khachaturian, and it is one crazy sounding piece. Just wondering what your favorite "wierd" pieces are?

Well, if by weird you mean atonal, I have quite a few:
1. I haven't heard the whole thing, but I've practiced some of the beginning pages and so far I like Violette's Sonata 6.
2. I like Ornstein's Sonatas 4 and 7
3. I like Sorabji's Gulistan and In the Hothouse
4. Prokofiev's Toccata op. 11
These are just a couple.

Or three couples to be precise. The music of the Second Viennese school is interesting (Schoenberg, Berg and Webern),

What is a British couple? I suppose that if I wanted to be literally correct, I would say two couples, as I have always thought a couple referred to two.
Yes, that music can be interesting at times.

You said six pieces, so if we coupled them we would get three couples,

Oh, I see (I was counting my numbers on the left). Silly me.
