Thème et variations is a composition for solo piano by Fernande Peyrot. It was composed in 1922 and premiered the same year in Paris. The piece consists of a theme and six variations. The theme is a simple and elegant melody in 3/4 time, with a gentle and flowing character. The first variation is marked "animé" and features a more complex and virtuosic version of the theme, with rapid arpeggios and runs in the right hand. The second variation is marked "lent" and is a more introspective and melancholic version of the theme, with a slower tempo and more expressive phrasing. The third variation is marked "vif" and is a lively and playful version of the theme, with syncopated rhythms and a more rhythmic character. The fourth variation is marked "modéré" and is a more subdued and contemplative version of the theme, with a slower tempo and more legato phrasing. The fifth variation is marked "très animé" and is a virtuosic and energetic version of the theme, with rapid runs and arpeggios in both hands. The final variation is marked "lent et expressif" and is a more emotional and expressive version of the theme, with a slower tempo and more dramatic phrasing. Overall, Thème et variations is a charming and engaging piece that showcases Peyrot's skill as a composer and pianist. The variations explore a range of moods and styles, while remaining true to the simple and elegant melody of the theme.
