=====================================================================
For the
last two posts of our 5-week long look at Themes and Variations, I will put
together montages that exemplify the T & V formula in works for orchestra
(next week) and for the piano. Piano variations are probably one of the most
common and popular form of piece in the piano repertoire, and our look at
Beethoven a couple of weeks ago gave us a taste.
The first
work in today’s montage is a Schubert set of variations for two pianos – a
genre we explored already on the aforementioned montage, as well as in one of
our Brahms podcasts from a year ago with his Haydn variations.
Speaking of
Brahms – and Chopin – they were already featured in piano variations already in
our series, but they return with more from their respective catalogs. The
modern touch of Anton Webern contrasts quite well with the romantic style of
Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky in their respective contributions to the genre, which round up our
montage.
More past
examples of piano variations from our podcast vault include works by Bizet , Schumann and Vladimir Horowitz.
I think you will love this music too!
