What about Mendelssohn's Songs without words ? They don't use singing or vocals, but they are still called songs. And there are musical pieces titled "Poem" that aren't poems.

OK, Nobody's brought up what I think is a salient point, so I'll dive in:
"Do you think anyone's able to play the 'Circus Galop' by Hamelin?"
Would anybody want to? It's not really very good as a piece. I don't think it would be worth the trouble.
And Islamey is still harder.

The anti-song pendants are so anal-retentive that they one-point compactify Euclidian space every time they sit down.

>Do you think anyone's able to play the 'Circus Galop' by Hamelin? I read you need 5 hands to play some of the chords. So the answer is no (unless you cheat  )

I know this thread is old, but "Circus Galop" never gets old... right? Anyhoo... I recently did a Pianomation installation on a Steinway S and we made a video of playback from a few different angles and thought I'd share. [video:youtube]83ul4NMj56g[/video] And here's another page that hosts the MIDI file, just in case anyone else wants to have a bit of fun with it: http://www.vgmusic.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14127Enjoy! That's wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
