This is a wonderful music piece of moderate difficulty, on good quality paper and easy to read. The title does not reflect the fact that this work is actually a number of variations of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," which really appeals to children of all ages, even though it does not seem to be among the more well-known of Mozart's many compositions..

Beautiful piece. A great lesson for creative people. This also came with snippets of background information about the song and Mozart.

I've always loved this piece, and find this printing to be very well done.
