Adding to repertoire:

Working on the fingering.

OK, should I be institutionalized? I think this could one day be a riot of an encore!

(well executed arrangement, need human being to play it)

It looks pleasant enough. Not sure it's encore material though, and it looks very straightforward. I doubt institutionalisation will be required.

The issue is - I laughed so hard I started crying. I just could not believe what this guy did to angry birds. And as I looked at it more closely, I realized the tune just lent itself to this....

OK, for the popular-culture-disadvantaged, here is a short intro what Angry Birds is all about, and how little it has to do with Johann Sebastian:

The main theme plays continuously as you start the game. It sticks into your head.

The guy who wrote the fugue is a church organist in Warsaw. I guess he got nailed by the Angry Birds addiction in spite of his classical training! (As did I...)

He did a nice job, which is why it is worth learning it. For the angry-birds insider on top of it being nice it is a riot - a refreshing combination!

Angry birds, but the way, is the top downloaded software of all software in the world, I just heard...
