Hello everyone, today I bring 5 Harmonic Variations over "Ah, vous dirai je, maman". This arrangement was made by my friend Mariano Fraga probably based on Mozart's K.265, I made a slight modification on the melody to make it fit the modern version we usually hear when we are kids, many of you probably know this song as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or the "Alphabet song".
As always there is a fully fingered scores. Each variation has its own tempo so in the BT several count-ins are included.
Hope you like it!
