The will o' the wisp (fool's fire) refers to ghostly
lights seen at night or twilight that hover over swamps
or bogs in still air. They look like a flickering lamp
and seem to recede if approached. This "Caprice-Etude"
by Alphonse Hasselmans captures the mysterious
beautiful of this natural phenomenon using 32nd-note
upward arpeggios in rapid succession.
Hasselmans wrote "Les Follets pour Harpe" (Opus 48)
sometime after 1899 entirely for Concert (Pedal) Harp.
Dear Mr Magatgan PLEASE check the original score for the harp written by the composer - you have some VERY ground cord notes wrong and you're causing havoc between myself and my students!!!! PLEASE AMEND ASAP!!!!!!!
