Beethoven - 3 Variations Woo 70, 64, 77 Piano

The compositions here combine to give a good overview of the variety of forms of variation in Beethoven's early piano work - and are technically of such moderate demand that even advanced beginners can try it out. Beethoven took the templates from popular song collections (WoO 64 on a Swiss song), current opera performances (WoO 70 on "Nel cor piu non mi sento" by Giovanni Paisiello) and own composition projects (WoO 77 on a theme from the finale of the Piano Sonata op. 22 ). The revised score text of the Henle Urtext edition with detailed preface and commentary section was created on the basis of the Critical Report of the Complete Edition of Beethoven and is published as a single edition from "Variations for Piano I / II" (HN 1267 and 1269). Ian Fountain is responsible for the fingering.
