Slavisa Stojanovic
(all students of Prof. Dr. Dubravka Jovicic).
performed May 2009 in Bijeljina, Repubic of Srpska

There were five students who wanted to perform this piece, so to add to the humor of the piece, the fifth player meanders in as though he is a passerby, and rotates into the piece.  What enthusiasm in this performance! 

The work is based on the opening two measures of Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 in C major "Waldstein" and also briefly quotes Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Bach's Prelude in C major from the WTC, plus a little Gershwin and Jerry Lee Lewis.
