Badinerie (joke from French) is the title used for agile movements in some of the suites dating the 18th century. J. S. Bach called the Second Orchestral Suite's final this very way.

Bach could hardly believe the "Badinerie" would enjoy such great popularity, as to be heard on TV and radio mounting, from electronic devices, being called just "Bach's Joke" (The title of the “Terem-Quartet’s” composition (2000).

Though my "Badinerie" is not connected by any motives with the Bach's one, they are united by the same lot. Primarily my composition was the movement in the orchestral suite ("Symphonic Pictures", 1997). Later it was remade, getting its independence. Besides, both of them are congenial by tempo, character and motion. These particularities, so as the musical amazements, awaiting our listeners and executants, evoked my fantasy to call it "Badinerie".
