This is a piece for a small orchestra. It's a lot like cartoon music, and was inspired somewhere between Petruschka and Shostikovich #9.

This piece was originally scored for single strings and winds, although I think it would probably be better for a chamber orchestra with a small string section and winds in pairs.
