Sketch in E Major for Piano

After posting that inadequately named string piece yesterday, it occurred to me that a preponderance of my recent postings have leaned toward minor keys, so I thought it might be nice to whip up something a little brighter, especially as I've probably got more of the dark stuff coming up next. I started this thing just this afternoon, and despite a few interruptions and the temptation to get all meticulous about it and play with it for weeks, I finished it and shoved it into the Windows Movie Maker, a process made easier by the fact that I just did one yesterday.

As I may have mentioned before, one of my two favorite composers is Joseph Haydn (the other being Sibelius). While I wasn't thinking about any particular piece of his while writing it, this is about as obvious as his influence shines through in anything I've posted. Stuff like this runs through my head all the time, so it was kind of nice to let some of it out.

I'm not going to complain about this one's title, even though it's along the same lines as the much more substantial previous posting, because in this case it fits -- it really is nothing more than a sketch, thrown together in just a couple of hours (including playing with it just a little bit). It's only a minute and a half long, but what do you expect for just a couple hours of work?

Edit: 12/2 Had to smooth out a couple of rough edges and vary the repeat of the opening section a little more (the ascending scale passages pretty much demanded corresponding descending passages for balance, you know). Nothing structural, though.
