Giovanni Detorri - Fugue on a theme by Lady Gaga.

Performing this piece might be a good idea to bring classical piano music to young people.
It is well written and I do like it.
What's your opinion?

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Very appealing ! And, most of all, very well crafted indeed, very funny. It could indeed have some potential in "bringing classical music to kids". I also think that there is already in standard classical repertoire lots of stuff that is not too hard for children's ears, not to mention the "Peter and the Wolf"-type of music, or even Mozart "Die Zaüberflöte", and lots of humorous and creepy things etcetera, etcetera, if it is brought with enthusiasm, children are very sensitive. I also think that "not liking classical music"-as-a-kid, is often more of an 'attitude'.
I also like the lenght of this piece ; it is not what I would call short. It stands on itself. I would like to find the score, play it and than not share it with the two girls here (or I would share it, in exchange of washing some dishes or something
). I'm probably a lot a kid myself.
I do not like the process the other way round, Mozart A La Mode from Alec Templeton, turning classical 'tunes' in some jazzy stuff etcetera.
This is fantastic, a real discovery, a jewel. These guys have talent.
Kind greetings.

I like it very much! I like it because it blends in classical music with pop culture. I agree with alessandro that it has the potential to bring classical music to kids.

Passing fade. Someone did that for a Britanny Spears song too... Who cares about it now? Someone will do it again with the next pop singer. It must give music students/profs something amusing to do.

Brilliant. To be honest, I have never heard the theme it was based on. I am so out of the loop.
