Is this not the best piece ever!? I recently starting preparing this piece, and I must say it has become one of my favorite piano pieces. It is so fun to play and listen to!I was surprised because it's also one of the most dissonant pieces I've played, yet something about the style makes the dissonance sound spine-tingling instead of nasty.

I must warn you that you might not understand it on the first hearing (but who knows!)

Indeed, the Copland Variations are excellent. Copland is my favorite composer.

You should also try his Piano Sonata if you're interested.
