Why did you choose this piece?
When I first heard this piece, I was immediately intrigued by the melody. It was so different, so fun. This is one of the most interesting pieces I have ever heard. Thee are so many jumps which create a kind of circus vibe. In addition, I chose this piece because it caught my ear. Besides that, it is such a fun piece to perform, having both vivid parts and lyrical parts. There are so many ways to play with this piece which makes it an awesome selection.
