Var. 1 (Classique) is in the style of Mozart, with delicate Rococo embellishments and a simple modulation to the dominant.\u003cbr\u003eVar. 2 (Fantasque) is inspired by Hasselmans' Follets and explores the special effects of the harp technique. Without pause we move on to Var. 3, a passionate Tango with a central section modulating to the minor key.\u003cbr\u003eVar. 4 is a waltz with references to the cadenza from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, Strauss's Blauen Donau and Hasselmans' Petite Valse. The dance movement turns into Var.5 (Recitative) which offers a moment of calm and reflection, on elaborate impressionist harmonies.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a transition similar to the intro, Var. 6, a lively ragtime, concludes the set in a joyful party atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandro Palazzani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8755717764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798755717762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.14d","brand":"Alessandro Palazzani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128229392639,"sku":"9798755717762","price":18.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ed6bc5e-c3e6-4f30-befa-d237ea36bfe5.jpg?v=1687457638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playful-variations-on-happy-birthday-alessandro-palazzani-9798755717762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
