Ah, vous dirai-je, maman

The English version
This popular children's song is known in English asTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,
     the very first piece violinists learn in the Suzuki Method.

Analysis
With a Melo-Rhythm of / ' \ // (usually written with smaller note-values),
     this seems to be the simplest and most fundamental Melo-Rhythmic Archetype
          that has "practical" musical signification.
     In the complete ABA of the song,
          this archetype is used twice in each A and in the B.

     (a) it uses the original archetype twice with a Langer Hinge in the center, and
     (b) it has removed all subdivision in values 2, 3, 6, and 7,
          a very French procedure with no English counterpart,
               which attracts attention to the next larger level, Level +1.

Analysis
With a Melo-Rhythm of / ' \ // (usually written with smaller note-values),
     this archetype passes to a smaller level after the breath with / \ // ,
               the end of À la volette,
          the longer value at the end accomodating the return to the larger opening level.
