Mozart Variations he main theme of this music comes from Mozarts opera The Magic Flute, a very well-known melody which is sometimes associated with sacred words. It is a beautiful tune which lends itself to variation treatment including, I hope, these very light-hearted examples. While working on this music, I had the idea of incorporating references to other well-known Mozart themes, again, with a rather tongue-in-cheek approach. The result is a high-spirited, flamboyant solo that I hope will be fun to play and to listen to.
