Variations on Stravinsky's Les Cinq Doigts

In the winter of 1921 Stravinsky composed 8 short piano pieces for his youngest children. Stravinsky wrote these in such a manner that "the five fingers of the right hand, once on the keys, remain in the same position, sometimes even for the whole length of the piece, while the left hand, which is accompanying the melody, executes a harmonic or contrapuntal pattern of the utmost simplicity." Hence the title Les Cinq Doigts which literally translates into "the 5 fingers". These variations use the beginnings of each piece as written by Stravinsky (more or less), but then try to imagine what would happen if Stravinsky did not limit himself to just 5 notes. The only exception is #8, which both starts and ends as written by Stravinsky. The difficulty level of these pieces varies. Some are quite simple at grade level Easy. Others are a bit more challenging - perhaps at Medium - but none call for virtuoso skill level. As such this has been put at grade level Medium Easy. Surprise! Hidden inside of one of these pieces is a quote from a well known Brecht-Weill song from Three Penny Opera.
