Chaconne

A chaconne is like playing a game with music. You start with a simple melody that you like, and then you repeat it over and over again while changing other things like the rhythm, the tempo, or the notes around it. It's like playing a game of "Simon says" where you have to do the same thing over and over again but with different rules. A chaconne is usually played on a violin or a piano, and sometimes with other instruments like a guitar or a harp. People have been playing chaconnes for hundreds of years, and they're still popular today because they're really fun to play and listen to!
