    Hello, Mr. Schilling. Another enjoyable piece and commentary, which I thank you for.

    A suggestion for a future post (from your post): the differences in “variations on a theme of [composer A] by [composer B]”.

    You could focus on a single [composer B] and the differences in their “variations”, or you could focus on multiple [composer B]’s and the differences in how they approached their “variations”, or you could focus on the difference between [composer A] and [composer B], or you could focus on some other Mr. Schilling-interesting aspect.

    I’ve always enjoyed Beethoven’s 6 variations on “Nel cor più non mi sento” (by Paisiello). They are a wonderful study of Beethoven’s different musical personalities, I think.

    (first variation isn’t a variation, of course, it is the original piece)Report
