This piece is known worldwide as the children's song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

The original melody is a chanson that was popular in France at the end of the 18th century, titled Ah! Vous dirais-je, Maman (Oh! Shall I tell you, Mother). It is attributed to the Baroque French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764).

It is in C major and 4/4 time.

The melody in the right hand is immediately imitated by the left hand.

The phrase concludes with the left hand's charming dotted rhythm.

Each note is required to be played with a beautiful, even tone, as if stars are twinkling and falling.
