Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27, 1756 - December 5, 1791), born in Salzburg during the Holy Roman Empire, was the greatest classical music composer in Europe one. Mozart, who died young at the age of 35, left behind important works covering all musical genres of the time. He is undoubtedly an extremely talented artist. In the history of Western music, he is the only one who is undoubtedly recognized as a unique genius in the music industry. The concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades, diversions, etc. composed by Mozart became the main forms of later classical music. He was also an expert in opera, and his achievements are immortal to the changes of the times. In addition, his composition style is both melodic and artistic, pleasant and cheerful, yet elegant. This makes his works have the same status as Bach and Beethoven, and can also make people feel that the music style has changed from the Baroque period to the classical period. Also because the turbulent movement revealed the early romantic style, it directly foreshadowed the emergence of Beethoven-style heroic music. He was also the first free composer to publicly break away from his patron, making his personality much admired by later generations of musicians.

Little Star Variations

It is a variation piece consisting of a theme and 12 variations.

Variations: Variations refer to a piece of music in which a theme and its series of changes are repeated and composed according to a unified artistic conception. The word "variation" comes from the Latin word variatio, whose original meaning is change, which means the evolution of the theme. From ancient fixed bass variations to modern decorative variations and free variations, the variation techniques used vary. Composers can create new themes or borrow existing tunes. Then keep the basic skeleton of the theme and play with it freely. Techniques include decorative variations, corresponding variations, melody variations, sound pattern variations, canon variations, harmonic variations, characteristic variations, etc. In addition, you can also change the beat, speed, key, etc. to form a variation. The variations can be as few as a few paragraphs. There may be dozens of paragraphs at most. Variations can be used as independent works or as a movement of a larger work.

Features of Variations:

1. The theme is decorated or sound-shaped, and the harmony remains unchanged;

2. The theme is treated with different harmonies, but the melody remains unchanged;
