Beethoven's Wig, Inc. #6347439. Published by Beethoven's Wig, Inc. (A0.928569). Inspired and wildly imaginative, Beethoven's Wig - My Little Chicken contains zany, stick-in-your-head lyrics set to Chopsticks as originally composed by Euphemia Allen (aka Arthur de Lulli). With lyrics written by Richard Perlmutter, this famous classic is fun to peck and sing along to, opening a door to great piano music that's fun.GREAT FOR PIANO STUDENTS AND TEACHERSPiano teachers often tell their students they should sing the instrumental pieces they play to improve their performance. This forces students to interpret pieces lyrically. They become more aware how phrases rise and fall, where pauses should be taken for breaths, and what notes should be emphasized. The witty and delightful lyrics set Chopsticks are an entertaining means to that end, and they make practicing both educational and fun!
