When listening to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star written by Mozart I hear piano playing a soft melody of all the same volume and tone. When I listen to this piece I imagine an image of the stars twinkling in the night sky on a dark summer night. I like this song because it sounds different from the other Twinkle Twinkle, childhood songs

A few days ago we listened to Ah vous dirais-je Maman, aka Twinkle Twinkle little star, Baa Baa Black sheep, ABC’s, etc. in class. It is a very famous piece by Mozart, who laughs funny. There is a lot to say about it because even though it doesn’t seem like a very complex piece, it is.
It has one instument, the piano. At first it is a very basic piece, but it slowly grows to be so complex you can barely hear the, um, mealody. I think it is such a pretty piece. It really shows me, in my mind, how music was in that time period. I also think it is SO much better than stupid rap and emo music everybody thinks is sooooo good. This music is truley classic and will, in my eyes, never die. I can practicaly see men and women dancing at some ball or party, with big poofy wigs and funny clothes on. There is one thing I really dont like about it though. It kind of gets boring. To me, all classical music reminds me of a lullaby and makes me want to fall asleep. Other than that teeny tiny detail, i like this music. Its not something i would sit in my room listening to, but it is truley one od the most pretty songs i’ve ever heard.

We listened to the Variations on “Ah vous dirais-je, Mamen” (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”) by Mozart. This song was fast at some points and slow at others. It was loud and soft at times also.(forte and piano) This piece was played solo piano. It is not a song I would listen to everyday but I liked the different variations. I counted 17 variations in all.
1st: Seemed basic with a hint of difference from twinkle twinkle little star.
2nd : Very uppity and fast, it seemed basic on one hand and advanced on another.
3rd: Slowly getting more complex; in my head I can picture a spriling staircase.
4th: Seemed to be very advanced on both hand and a lot of harmony going on. I can now see a ribbion flowing in a summer breeze.
5th: Seemed to be lower on the Piano. (with the left hand) And a bit more basic than before.
6th: Slower and nicer, now seems peaceful.
7th: Lower on left hand, and getting higher and very fast on the right.
8th: Not so different from the 7th however the left hand seemed slower and the right hand seemed to be fast.
9th: Seems like a totally different melody to me. It is slower and sadder, also the left hand is getting lower on the piano.
10th: Happier and basic.
11th: A bit more advanced and seems mysterious to me.
12th: Slow, very slow, basic and easy to play.
13th: Slow again seems to be coming to an end.
14th: Kind of gets a bit faster and harder to play.
15th: Returns to basic melody and again seems easier to play.
16th: Climbing faster, louder, lower, more advanced and VERY FAST! This seems to be the climax and ending.
17th: Loud and fast then ends.
This piece does not create one picture in my head but several at the times of the different variations. Also one thing I noticed is that when the piece grew softer and slower it seemed to be just the major chords on the left hand. Also it seemed that the right hand was always playing 2 octives higher than the left hand. Thats just what I think but I am not sure. This was a great piece and is amazing for one person to have composed!

The piece we listened to in class was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, known to be the best composer of all time. Mozart lived a very short life span, being very famous at an extraordinary young age. The people during this era I find to be quite selfish and always trying to look their very best and quite flashy. In fact, the era and people were both ostentatious in public. The song We listened to was composed for a single piano and had a very intricate and precise structure.
The song we listened to in class this week had a base melody of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and quite beautiful. The entire song was based on that simple tune and included several variations, so it was not in the least bit boring. There were diverse notes being performed throughout the song such as short, rapid notes. I could imagine one hand playing the simple melody and the other going nuts due to the complexity of the piece. The song begins with the simple tune and then progresses to the variations that were written by Mozart. One of the variations was light and simple, especially compared to the other ones. I, personally, enjoyed the 2nd variation. I found it to be very amusing. One of the sections played was quite depressing, mopy, and somber. It was very derogatory. There were also a copious amount of spaces between the various notes. The end was slightly prolonged and the song I felt was longer than it should be. My attention was diverted and I became distracted. However, I realize, that this was written about 300 years ago and there was not the technology and entertainment we have today (nor the virtues I might add, but that is not relevant). Since there was little to do, this song would most likely be quite appealing due to its spectacular melody and wonderful music heard when performed. The end was very peaceful and tranquil, but there was a strong, precise ending.
This song had a theme and variations. Its articulate notes and melody was quite stunning and even I am astounded at its impeccable and unique use of notes. The way Mozart was able to turn a simple tune into something quite stupendous is quite incredible. I could easily tell that there were a lot of diverse emotions expressed in this song. I was able to conjure several vivid pictures while listening to this composition. I was first able to picture a ballet which had an abundant amount of dancers that performed a dance with a cannon. Eventually, only a single, young girl was left dancing and twirling. This girl was around six years old and had a ver y pallid, expressionless face. Her beauty was immense. There were other images as well that came to my mind in which will take a while to elaborate on. Mozart’s piece for a solo piano was passionate and beautiful.

Its almost hard to keep a straight face during listening to this piece. It just seems to childish, and for such a renound composer such as mozart to make almost sounds insulting. I mean, its twinkle twinkle little star. I used to think that it was made up by some underpayed pre-school teacher somewhere in the U.S., but learing that Mozart composed it truly schocked me. Although, it is incredibly possible that, if I was unfamiliar with twink twinkle little star, I may view the music with a completely new perspective.
The Dynamics of the piece impress me, even though I found the piece choldish. The progression and variation is a work of true musical genius. Each variation sounds like its own piece of music, its own work of art. And each picture writes its own story; some happy, some sad, and some thrilling. But when it comes down to it, its truly all the same thing: twinkle twinkle little star with some backup notes.

The piece we listened to in class was by Mozart, who was a very famous composer and still is now. He died at an extremely young age, but is known for all of the pieces he composed (over 1,000). He started the music business when he was only about 3. Many other composers would be jelous of Mozart because of his talent at just age 3! The piece we listened to today was the melody of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.
This piece was really beautiful. It started out very simple, with the basic tune and then got more complicated from there. The next variations of it were with both hands doing different things at the same time. It got quite confusing. Some were faster and some slower some were so simple, you could pretty much tell what he was saying, but some were very complex. It makes you wonder how such an incredible amount of work went into it. But considering it was Mozart, it probably took only a short amount of time.
Each variation was a different picture in my head. All of them were beautiful. Some filled with many things, and some so plain. It varied, just like each variation in the piece. Every variation was its own unique, mini piece. I loved this variation. Music doesnt need to be a dance tune. This tune was so peaceful and nice, that you didnt really care if it was slow, or fast. Mozart is a WONDERFUL composer, who could have came up with many more songs but unfortunately died from some kind of fever. We remember him today by playing all of his songs

In music class on Monday, we heard a song composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was a variation on the commonly known tune ” Twinkle, twinkle Little Star” For the most part, I really enjoyed the piece. It was fun and very complex, which is what I like. I can tell it was a song that is veerrrry hard to play. That adds to the appeal even more.The melody was fun and upbeat, and changes in an effective transition into new tunes, sort of like D.J. Spinbad ( although his mixes aren’t that great in my opinion) The only thing I don’t like about the song is that it gets too long and boring. It’s great up until the 5th variation, then it’s just too much, annoying, and doesn’t even sound anything like the original tune.
Variation 1 was much like the original tune of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star, but it added a little bit of beats into it. It sounded almost exactly the same as the kids tune. As the song progressed however, it became much more complex to the point that it didn’t sound anything like how it sounded in the beginning. Variation 2 went totally crazy with an abundant number of added notes and an immense increase of speed. It was very amusing to go from a kiddy tune to an insane variation, and it was really cool. Just like how the movie we watched, Mozart easily made the other guy’s music sound instantly better, and that is sort of what went on here. Next in the 3rd variation, the music gets a little bit slower, as it begins to fade from the first and second variation. It also changes moods, from happy to “Ehh..whatever.” Finally, in the 4th variation, the variation doesn’t sound much at all like twinkle twinkle, and changes to piano. The mood is much more somber, relaxing, and much less crazy sounding like the second variation. There were many more variations in the over six minute piece, but in my eyes, these were the ones most significant.
Going from so many different tunes, it’s hard to say one thing that I imagine from this piece. Oddly enough, I mostly see a modern/contemporary ballet or lyrical type dance exposing every emotion in the song. It’s like all the variations are telling a story through the dancer, and it’s clear to the audience.

In class we listened to one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous piece’s, Ah vous dirais-je, Maman, better known as the ABCs or Twinkle Twinkle. Mozart was a extremely smart kid and started composing when he was just 8 years old. Ah vous dirais-je, Maman was a very well organized piece that seemed very complicated to play.
This piece only has one instrument, the piano, but it sounded like it had many. The piece started out very basic with the melody that we all know from childhood but then Mozart threw in the crazy variations which made the piece so complete and exciting. the variations seemed to almost go in a pattern of slow and fast tempo’s. the second movement especially jumped out at me when he put so many notes on one hand and just a few on the other. He then went slow until he almost repeated the second variation on the seventeenth movement to finish the piece.
I couldn’t really picture anything except a baby sleeping because the song was played so many times as a kid song that I can’t get out of my head.

In music class, we heard a song composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was a variation of ” Twinkle, twinkle Little Star” I really enjoyed the piece, it was very pretty. This song was called Ah Vous Dirais-Je Maman, it was an eight minute piece. It had many variations of twinkle twinkle little star. Some of these variations seemed hard to play, while others were simple and easy.
The song started out calm and peaceful. Throughout the whole song, there was only one instrument, the piano. Then, I noticed it start to go faster and louder, then it became very fast and loud. Both parts were heard, but not equally, because the melody was a little bit louder than the actual song. After it became louder, it started to become soft and quiet, and the keys were played a little bit jumpy. Then, I heard the melody going fast and playing louder. Like a hill, the speed and volume went up and down. On the next variation, one hand started to play, the melody, then the other hand joined in, and it got louder after what seemed to me as a pattern going deeper. Then the song started to play like the theme, or beginning, soft, wuiet, and peaceful. Sometimes I noticed both parts were playing the same and some parts both hands went at different speeds and volumes. Then, it went slowly, but it was playing louder, and sometimes the speed would increase. Suddenly it started to go slowly, but this time both parts were equally heard, and balanced eachother out. The music then started to go faster, then slow and quiet again with many rests between the notes. The keys were playing lower and the speed increased again, as well as the volume. On the ending, it became louder and faster, and it ended on a very loud note, and all of the keys ended together.
This song was beautiful to me, and I personally enjoyed and loved it, becuase the way Mozart was able to make many variations out of a simple little song amazed me. I understood he was very talented and this piece showed me how much he was. The image built in my mind with this song was like an episode of Tom & Jerry, where the mouse just wants the cheese and the cat wants the mouse to eat. They chase eachother for quite a while, and the mouse plays tricks on the cat. Then, the mouse reaches his home and closes the door, which when he closes the door shut, the music ends at the same exact time. I loved this piece, becasue it was peaceful, quiet, nice, and enjoyable. Mozart must have been really talented to be able to play something so simple, and turn it into a complex masterpiece, which today we call Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
12. DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN? | February 2nd, 2007 at 4:01 pm
In music class we listened to a piece written by Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus aka Wolfgang Amadeus Motzart! The piece was called Ah Vous Dirais-Je Maman, but is more widley recognized as, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This piece is a lot of variations, with that familliar tune as the melody. This piece was very long, just over eight minutes!
This peice is very interesting, I heard a lot of different things. Infact every few seconds it would change. It is hard to belive that something that complex could be identified as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, that is considered one of the simplist songs known to man kind. The reason it is so complicated is beacuase of all the variations. The tempo would gofrom fast to slow, it would be piano then forte, stacato and then to legato. Different things would be added in, and then switched around, the pianist would play the melody with his/her right hand and then instantl switch to playing it on the left hand. This piece would be extremly hard to play!
I personally did not liek this piece. While I appreciate the musical talent it had to take to play and compose this, i did not enjoy listening to it. It was very weird. What I mean by weird is it felt like I was going from a kindergarton class to a concert hall. That is a great musical acheivement for Motzart, but for listening purposes is not great. This song was way too long! It is fantastic that they could have that many variations on a song for eight minutes, but those variations are not entertaing enough for eight minutes. This piece is really amazig, but I prefer different styles of music.

Today in our 9th period class, we listened to Ah vous dirais-je, Maman- A piece written by Mozart. This piece has been made into 3 children’s songs; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and the ABC’s. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a major composer in the classical period and has written over 600 pieces of music. He wrote his first piece of music when he was at the young age of eight. He was considered a child prodigy. Mozart died from an unusual type of fever at the age of thirty-five.
As we listened to this piece in class, I’ve noticed a lot of things. First of all, the song was played by only one instrument, the piano. The piece starts out fairly easy to play, then changes completely different in the variations I heard. The whole song played straight through is impossible to play if you are not an unbelievable pianist. Part of the piece was staccato, while other parts were legato. This piece’s speed changed dramatically from extremely fast to slow. The song varies from forte to piano as Mozart had fun with the different sounds and flow to the piece. The range of the notes for this song is very wide, for the notes jump from high to low throughout. This piece takes a true, amazing musician to be able to perform like Mozart.
Honestly, I liked listening to this piece. It made me remember the past from when I was a young child. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, ABC’s, and Baa Baa Black sheep are songs I grew up with and I can’t help but think of those songs while listening to this piece. I enjoyed hearing vous dirais-je, Maman, for it brought back easy living, joyful memories. I wouldn’t have this song on my ipod though, because I’d be mocked out of town for listening to baby music. Overall, I think this piece was amazing and would like to hear it again, even though it really isn’t my style.

In class, we listened to “Ah vous dirais-je, Maman,” a piece written by Mozart. It may also be known as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” or even “The ABC’s.” The piece was very long; actually about eight minutes, and was made for a solo piano part, which is what we listened to in class.
When I listened to this piece, I felt relaxed at the beginning because it was both something very soothing along with the fact that I had heard it many times before. Then, it began getting very quick and very sharp. The song continued to change throughout, and in some parts I couldn’t even believe that what I was hearing was still part of the “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” song. The song was very jumpy throughout, which I enjoyed because it made it much more interesting than the nursery rhyme kids are taught. Near the end, the piece just seemed to finish itself, ending with a perfect note.
While listening, I imaged a very cute picture. It was a moving painting of a little girl with blond hair and rosy cheeks, staring out her window in her blue, white-spotted pajamas on top of her bed– covered in stuffed animals. She was staring at the brightest, most sparkling star in the sky. This is a picture I remember from when I was little, only this one was moving a little! Then, as the sound of the music began to change, the little girl and her room faded, leaving the sky above. The sky changed from a darker blue to a violet-black type color, and yet the stars still shined, dashing across my view as the music permitted.
———->> I looked up “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on wikipedia.org to find out dates and such, and it says a common misconseption is that Mozart composed the piece. It said that he only wrote 12 variations on it, and from more research I found that he did so from about 1781 - 1782.

“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” combined the music of Ah vous dirais-je, Maman with an English poem, “The Star”, by Jane Taylor. The poem was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann, in couplet form.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria and died on December 5, 1791 in Vienna, Austria. He was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. He was a composer and a pianist who played the piano and harpsichord. There are over 600 compositions to his name to a wide variety of music. They include: symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Mozart is considered to be one of the greatest composers of classical music. The piece we listened to in class was “Ah vous dirais-je, Maman”, or”Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.
When I listened to this piece, I thought it was amazing how all of that was played only one person on one instrument. It shows you what you can really do with an instrument, because the pianist was able to play it in so many different melodies and very different speeds as well. At the beginning, it was so basic, and then suddenly it changed to, what seemed like, a whole different piece, even though the original melody was still there. This happened throughout the duration of the piece and at the end, it made me wonder, and what more can he do. It’s unbelievable that Mozart was able to do this.
When I heard this piece, of course it made me think of the song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, but for some reason, I could also imagine myself at a concert watching this piece being played. Even though this piece is a masterpiece, I could imagine myself sitting there and eventually at the end, being bored to death. This piece is incredible, but with things like this, my patience doesn’t last very long. I know that eventually I would become annoyed listening to this and that is why I would never listen to it over and over again.

Today, during class we listened to Ah vous dirais-je, Maman, by Mozart. This piece eventually was made into three very well known songs (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ba Ba Black sheep, and ABc’s. I dont know how this amazing piece of music was made into pre-school sing alongs, but somehow this formation occured.
This piece of music changed speed a lot. At some points it was slow, soft and pleasent. However, at other times it was confusing, fast, and loud. The theme of the piece was the light part (”Twinklie twinkle”.) i enjoyed this part a lot . Another part that i enjoyed is the part that reminded me of Israel’snational anthem. This was soft but yet strong, and powerful.
As i listened to Ah vous dirais-je, Maman i thought of differen thinks as i listened to different parts of it.When it was soft i pictured it being played as ballerinas were danceing on a stage. When it was louder and confusing i imagined it as in a cartoon show where a bumble bee was chasing someone. Although i enjoyed listening to this music in class, it would not be somehting i would listen to everyday.

The most famous composer of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart [real name Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus] was born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. He died on December 5, 1791 in Vienna, Austria. Ah Vous Dirais-Je Maman, an eight minute piece, was written by him and we listened to it in class. Do you know the songs Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star; Bah Bah Black Sheep, and the alphabet song? Most people know that these childhood nursery rhymes all have the same tune. This song composed my Mozart is a much longer rendition of those songs.
When I listened to it, I thought it was very nice, and noticed the difference between those three nursery rhyme songs and the classical one. For one, Mozart’s masterpiece was much longer, and the tempo changed many times through out the piece: slow, then short… then dragged out parts, the really quick rapid parts. His works with the piano is incredible, and even though it is only a piano playing, you just can’t help but imagine a orchestra going on. The beginning and end of the song, I think, are tghe slowest parts… with the dynamics dragging out. The middle however, fascinated me the most. It was much more unpredictable, with dyanamics going from really fast to really slow in seconds time, and the change occured smoothly.
Listening to this piece made me think of sitting in an opera, or somewhere where music is played, and just listening to the song. Oddly enough, I was also reminded of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and pictured myself sitting in that theatre, and looking up to see the dark sky with stars “twinkling.” Although the piece is very beutiful, and written by the most perfect [music wise] composer of all time], listening to this song more then… maybe 7… times will become tedious.

Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart whrote a piece called Ah vous dirais-je, Maman. it sounds very much like twinkle twinkle, which it became to be called in later years. the only instrument in the piece was a piano. Mozart did not like being called Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, so he shortened his name to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
this piece made me imaging a little baby in a crib falling asleep when the music was soft and slow. when the music sped up, i imagined a person running around confused.
i liked this piece because it was a variation of twinkle twinkle. i liked that there were more notes than just the basic twinkle twinkle little star how i wonder who you are…so on and so on. this sounds like a lulaby in ways when it is slow and quiet. i liked the way that he chose to play twinkle twinkle. it sounds awesome and like it was sped up by the computer, but i guess he just has really fast fingers.

What we listened to in class the other day was one of Mozarts peice and it was a good peice and it was called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and it had a very good sound and I would listen to it more often and I know the song very well. I think it should be played at a party for slow music and it made me feel happy and exciting. Its better then rap music i should say.
It had in some parts the ABC’s but a lot of twinle twinlkle little star. Its like it is telling a story about something happing and that its going to be an happy ending. It was an awsome peice and I would listen to it every day if I had the choice to.

The piece we listened to in class was named Ad Vous Dirais-Te, Maan. It was played with one instrument, the piano. The piece is now known as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, by Mozart. There were about 17 variations in all. The piece was 8 minutes long.
The piece first started out as the kid song of Twinkle Tinkle. After, the notes increased the rate rapidly. The notes became deep and slow, to high with a fast pace. As I was paying attention, I could not think of it as an adult piece because I always heard Twinkle, Twinkle as a toddler. The diverse notes can the piece alive. My favorite part was at 3 minutes and 30 seconds when everything ran so peaceful and smoothly.
In my head, I picture an old, old, man playing the piano to a little boy. The boy is trying to learn how to play. I can also image a mother singing to her daughter at night. I don’t like this piece as much as the others because I like to hear more instruments and enthusiasm like an electric guitar.

The other day in class we listened to various pieces of music written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The songs included Twinkle Twinkle little star, Baa Baa Black sheep, and the ABC’s. I really enjoyed listening to all of these songs because they were all so beautiful.
I really liked Twinkle Twinkle little star. It was cool how the song started out calm and peaceful but then began to get faster and faster and louder and louder. But it was a smooth transition. (It gradually got louder and faster) My favorite part of the song was defiantly the slow soft part. I thought it was amazing that all of it was played only by one person and on one instrument. I really reminded me of when I was a toddler. It was interesting.
I also liked the ABC’s one. It was nice but I felt like I didn’t like it as much as the others. Then we listened to Baa Baa Black Sheep. This on was really great and I loved listening to it. Over all, I really think the pieces were amazing.
