Description:
Fair Play is a lively fantasia on the Bolognese folk song "La fira ed San Lazer," in a ternary form: Allegro - Adagio - Allegro. A well-known "goliardic" version of this piece was created by Francesco Guccini, with a live version included in his 1973 album "Opera Buffa. " In the two fast movements, there is an alternation between the original melody and other rhythmic and melodic materials elaborated from the melody itself. The Adagio, on the other hand, is constructed as a series of variations - melodic, rhythmic, and even timbral - on a slow theme derived from the song's melody.
