## Summary

Piano sheet music for Aaron Copland's 'The Cat and the Mouse' (Scherzo Humoristique), edited by Jane Magrath, published as an Alfred Masterwork Edition.

## Description

Aaron Copland's "Scherzo Humoristique," written in 1920, is indeed musically humorous as it depicts the skittering rodent and sinister feline in a demanding, but very enjoyable etude setting, using complex 1/16 note patterns, glissando, grace notes, chromatic scale work, and a generous use of the entire keyboard. There are sudden shifts in tempo and dynamics, and the performer tells a definite story, albeit without narration. Large hand reaches, sometimes 9ths, are required on some of the full block chords. A Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selection. A Federation Festivals 2020-2024 selection.
