Thank you! Berkovich was the great master of variations. His "Paganini vars" is absolute hit. Soviet composers left a huge legacy of variations - dozens of books and publications. Many of these variations are based on folk songs or folklore motives, but the best part is that these motives are transformed by the modern views by the composer.
I heard them recently on your channel again. The recording's tempo is so high! But otherwise it's great. it's nice to see we are able to discover so much music on ale07
Extremely interesting way to treat variations, with a (relatively) affordable mechanism, but very expressive thanks to several chromatic surprises, amidst a generally traditional harmonic scheme and increasing pathos of dynamics, calming down only into the reflective Major variation. The theme has got a deeply archaic taste, akin Western European Passacaille and also the development reminds the way Passacaialles are usually treated
Still love this piece. I want to play it so bad, but the link in your description doesn't allows me to download the Sheet music. Do you have any advice? Ich danke dir und wünsche dir noch eine schöne Restwoche!!
