Sometimes you’re just not in the mood for writing pleasant music. Such was the case a few days ago, when I chose to vent my various frustrations onto a sheet of manuscript paper. The result is the following horrible piece, which I have rendered using the most vile harpsichord sound available. I hope it makes you sick. No, that’s a bit strong… I hope it makes you mildly nauseous.
 

In the unlikely event that anyone’s interested, this piece is actually a lot less harmonically complex than it may appear. You see, my dear reader, it is in fact a simple little tune in C major with a basic harmonisation – what makes it weird is that I have effectively transposed the left hand up a semitone (to Db), and the right hand harmony down a semitone (to B). So we have three clashing keys all going on at the same time. Delicious.
