Is this a joke? This is so poorly written it's hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud. I'm afraid of saying it's fitting...

This is better

https://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Piano

Then look up Chopin ;)
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

Trivia
"Music played on only the black notes of the piano sound vaguely oriental."


"Beethoven wrote many pieces for piano and eventually decided to have them all published through Dover­™ Publications."

HAHA!

That's true actually. It's similar to the Pentatonic Scale, if you are in the key of F sharp.
See, making a chinese piece sound difficult just by saying it's in F sharp major.

And beethoven sonatas were orginally first published through Dover I think.

Hmm, for some reason I didn't think that Sorabji was known well enough to have an Uncyclopedia article. I guess the sheer notoriety coming from this forum is enough attention!
