Composed by James Mayhew. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. Classical, Contemporary, Romantic Period. Score. 7 pages. James Mayhew #6234441. Published by James Mayhew (A0.996522).

This is a set of 8 variations on a theme in C major, which begin as Classical sounding variations on the Mozartian theme, Nos 1 and 2 of which sound quite like short Czerny studies, before a variation of many repeated notes embedded in broken chord figurations, until a frantic ending disrupts the traditional Classical harmony with plenty of chromaticism and a slightly bluesy ending. The next variation is in 12/8 with a lilting feel, while the 6th variations is a C minor one which begins in a stately march feel before merging into freer, slightly jazzier material. Variation 7 returns to C major for a jolly outburst while the finale that is Variation 8 pours cascades of chords and gymnastical passages all over the place (including a black-key octave glissando in the right hand with a white-key gliss in the left at the same time), with an unexpected ending.
It is an advanced-level piece which lasts for 5 minutes, and would work well performed in concert from a competent player.

Please listen to the video to get an idea of what it sounds like - the mp3 is very unmusical.
