Description:

Variations: The Foundation of Beethovens Art. Performed on Brautigams time-honored fortepianoThe 12th volume in Brautigams Complete Beethoven Fortepiano Works series is the second volume of variations. The Nine Variations on a March by Dresler was composed by Beethoven at the age of 13. It is a monumental workthe very first in the genre of variationswhich would later reach a magical level in pieces such as the Diabelli Variations and the third movement of the Ninth Symphony. The 24 Variations on Come, My Beloved is a large-scale work with a playing time of 20 minutes, in which the seeds of Beethovens later style can be seen. Brautigams performance is expansive and thoroughly compelling. The sound of the replica of Walters 1805 fortepiano is also beautiful, allowing listeners to savor it at length.King International
