It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
So you want to write a fugue. You got the urge to write a fugue. You got the nerve to write a fugue. So go ahead, so go ahead and write a fugue. Go ahead and write a fugue that we can sing.
Pay no heed, Pay no mind. Pay no heed to what we tell you, Pay no mind to what we tell you.
Cast away all that you were told And the theory that you read. As we said come and write one, Oh do come and write one, Write a fugue that we can sing.
And the fun of it will get you. And the joy of it will fetch you. Its a pleasure that is bound to satisfy. When you decide that John Sebastian must have been a very personable guy.
Never be clever for the sake of being clever, for the sake of showing off. For a canon in inversion is a dangerous diversion, And a bit of augmentation is a serious temptation, While a stretto diminution is an obvious allusion.

Chopin's Scherzo in Bb minor has a very 'cheeky' quality to it. Not a funny piece of music as such, just sounds funny. I also love the Scherzo from Vaughan Williams Symphony No.5.
Currently working on... Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu in C sharp minor Op.66 Mozart - Piano Sonata in E flat K.282 Liszt - Romance in E minor "O pourquoi donc" S.196
I think there is a big difference between "funny" and "happy". For instance, IMO the Beethoven Bagatelles and Rialto Ripples posted are happy or joyous but not funny.
