HÄNDEL VARIATIONS OP. 24COMPOSER: JOHANNES BRAHMSPIANO SOLOSERIES: HENLE MUSIC FOLIOSPUBLISHER: HENLE URTEXT EDITIONFORMAT: SOFTCOVEREDITOR: SONJA GERLACHDESCRIPTION:-WE KNOW THAT BRAHMS TOOK AN ACTIVE INTEREST IN BAROQUE MUSIC THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE. IT CAN THUS HARDLY BE BY CHANCE THAT HE CHOSE A THEME FROM ONE OF HANDEL`S HARPSICHORD SUITES FOR HIS 25 VARIATIONS. THE VARIATIONS ALLOW FOR IRIDESCENT COLOURS AND MOODS IN THE STYLE OF BEETHOVEN`S CHARACTERISTIC VARIATIONS. IN KEEPING WITH THE SOURCE, HOWEVER, THE WORK ALSO FEATURES ALLUSIONS TO BAROQUE MODELS – EMBELLISHMENTS, PEDAL POINTS – AND ENDS IN A GRANDLY LAID-OUT FUGUE WITH A TRIUMPHANT BUILD-UP. OPUS 24 UNQUESTIONABLY DESERVES ITS REPUTATION AS THE COMPOSER`S MOST IMPORTANT VARIATION CYCLE.-NOTA: SI BUSCA ALGUNA PARTITURA O MÉTODO, ENVÍENOS UN MENSAJE Y CON GUSTO ATENDEREMOS SU COMENTARIO, SOMOS ESPECIALISTAS EN MÚSICA IMPRESA, SI REQUIERE FACTURA FAVOR DE SOLICITARLA AL MOMENTO DE SU COMPRA.
