Cheung-Etude in E Flat Minor-M

Etude in Eb Minor and Etude in E Major were composed together as a set. Etude in E Major, though very dark and 'ugly, is at the same time intended to be a little funny. As I have marked in the music, I think of it as a 'Devil's Circus Dance.' I find it especially 'quirky' because the Etude in eb minor that precedes it in the set (though it was actually written after E Major) is an extremely tonal fugue of the same theme. I didn't put any markings in Etude in eb minor, because I think it should be self-explanatory. Also, I think there are so many ways of interpreting it that I didn't want to limit the performer's imagination.
