Short, fun, [new] piece to learn?

[wolff]

I just finished working on a piece.  I want to learn something short and fun, preferably new-ish repertoire (last 50 years or so).  Up to 3 minutes.  Any difficulty.  Any suggestions?

How about, "Giant Puple Butterflies"  by Wynn-Anne Rossi ; if you need more, I have several short and fun pieces.   

best wishes,

How about The Short-Tempered Klavier by P.D.Q. Bach (Preludes and Fugues in All the Major and Minor Keys except for the Really Hard Ones)?
Both short and fun!

how about Malaguena by Ernesto Leucona

Cat and Mouse, Copland.

Cat and Mouse, Copland.

That's from 1920, so it's too early and won't work for this thread.

Maybe you should try out any of Carl Vine's Anne Landa Preludes. These are all 2 minutes or less and are very fun. I particularly like the ones titled Fughetta and Tarantella.

Maybe try the Polichinelo from prole do bebê I, by Villa-Lobos, it's a fun short piece, not that hard and impressive for an audience.

OPUS Clavicembalisticum

OPUS Clavicembalisticum

That's not short, nor is it from 1958 or onward.

[birba]

Nor fun.

Thanks, guys, for the suggestions.  But I've decided to learn a piece that I recently rediscovered, Ginastera's Danza del Gaucho Matrero from his Danzas Argentinas.  Ginastera is a wonderfully unique composer.  Hopefully this is one of those pieces that's easier to play than it sounds!  Has anyone here played it?

[birba]

I've played it lots.  Like you said, easier than it sounds and invariably brings the house down.  A great encore piece.  La moza donosa is a little gem, too.
