Note
Franz Waxman originally composed The Charm Bracelet (1949) as a set of five short pieces for young pianists. He dedicated them to his son, John.
Waxman created a musical picture of the charms one might find on a bracelet. The first of the set, “The Two Shoes,” begins with an ostinato-like figure playing prominently over the introduction of the melody. It is a whimsical scherzo-like portrait.
“The Four Leaf Clover” is a waltz with a bittersweet flavor.
“The Little Soldier” is a playful march.
Of the set of five, “The Golden Heart” remains the most intimate in its sentiment.
“The Pony,” the most virtuosic of the set, is a lively romp with bi-tonal suggestions running throughout and acts as a brilliant close to the suite.
