Pizza Quattro Stagioni (to go)(disquiet0343) by ikjoyce

This week's junto came from a discussion on Slack, where I wondered aloud what the musical equivalent of a pun is... I am afraid I am still none the wiser, as what i ended up with was a very groanworthy pun involving music - Vivaldi's famous set of four violin concertos (which are just the first four in a suite of 12, opus 8, known collectively as "The contest of Harmony and Invention" - and I urge you to listen to the rest, they are just as satisfying as the first four that everyone knows!)... The Four Seasons also happens to be a particularly tasty pizza... so I present for your delectation, a little slice of "Pizza Quattro Stagioni", in which the opening of 'Spring' is played pizzicato.
At the rik of turning this into 'quattro fromaggi', I used the cheesiest topping I could find - the 'Pizzagogo' present from the Roland D-05, which is instantly recognisable as the one used by Enya on 'Orinoco Flow' - which immediately rendered it useless to anyone else, until now.

Needless to say, this is NOT what I had in mind when I was questioning what the musical equivalent of a pun is. But then, I got distracted by pizza....
