Description
This piece was composed in 1982 during a visit to Colorado. The eight variations on the traditional folk song never stray far from the original tune, in spite of their ever-increasing floridness. While some of the busier variations require a facile technique, and the work sounds impressive, overall it is only moderately challenging. D5 is the top-most pitch.
