I need a happy modern piece

[cabbynum]

I had a lesson with a concert pianist today and she said my audition program looks good except I'm missing a happy piece. I need a happy piece in there. And I don't have a modern piece yet, so I might as well kill 2 birds with one stone


Any suggestions are welcome, try not to have it be a ridiculous piece.

Do you need a renowned artist or may I suggest something way more obscure?

A happy piece?!

Are you kidding-

A happy-

You don't need a happy piece!!!  What matters is the quality of what you play that's all!!!

Here I got you...

Your search is complete.  Now get to work.

The second prelude is probably the happiest of the bunch.

You might as well tell them to just play a couple Chopin pieces...
