Musical Interlude: This Will Make You Happy
Sep 05, 2012 at 1:51 pm
I know–it’s only Wednesday…why a musical interlude…aren’t they reserved for Friday?
It’s because I was talking to my pal GL about the idea of variations on a theme and she’d never heard one. So I snapped into action and found this lovely treatment of Mozart’s variations on Twinkle, Twinkle. It’s just so damn charming that I had to share it.
Which variation did you like the best? I usually like the fast stuff, but here I love variation #11, adagio.
And note that this dude has the whole thing memorized. Great stuff.

Yes, great stuff. Thanks for posting. I like the when (in variation V) a cat walks under the piano.
