Description
A mitherpot or whiner is someone, usually a child, who is always fussing and complaining. The word was invented in
our family by conflating the verb "to mither" and the noun "fusspot". I don't know many others who use
"mitherpot"..... yet!
I composed the piece with a view to it being used as an amusing encore in a virtuoso concert.
I hope you will enjoy the music sample - which is an electronic preview. It's humourous and reflects the sounds of
many a tedious complaining child.
Versions are available for violin and piano, flute and piano, and clarinet and piano.
