A work suitable for learners, with a difficulty level comparable to Burgmüller. It was written for the students who gathered at the composer's piano studio on Tuesdays (To the Tuesday Piano Group: Margaret Ball, Margaret Gregory, Sarah Jonas, Sylvia Keiser, Helen Mannix and Maria Luisa Muñoz). The original theme in G major is in 3/4 time, Andante. It is minuet-like, clear, and simple. The subsequent five variations unfold in a characteristically classical and orderly manner, concluding with a solid feel. Whether it's Mozart or Haydn, authentic Classical works, regardless of the number of notes, present a unique difficulty for learners to master their form. This work, designed to be easy to play and allowing learners to naturally familiarize themselves with the classical idiom, serves as an excellent entry point for approaching Classical pieces. It is also beneficial that various concrete suggestions for its use by teachers are provided, such as assigning one variation to each student for a recital.
