Listening to Scarbo while walking my dog.  He was about a year old and this was during the winter.  He's running up and down the snowbanks, jumping and bouncing all over the place, barking at trees, and trying to snap at the leash in my hand.  Pretty hectic all around; the piece fit it perfectly lol.
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2
