George Rochberg - Caprice Variations ( for Unaccompanied Violín ) [Sheet Music - Video]

George Rochberg, Caprice Variations, A Paganini - Virtuoso Violín Music
Gidon Kremer - violín (Germani 1986).

In 1970, the American composer George Rochberg (1918-2005) took the idea of caprice no. 24 of niccolo paganini and created his own set of variations around that single movement. Within the work there are very clear tributes to Bach (var. 27), Haydn (var. 42), Beethoven (var. 21), Mahler (var. 44), Busoni (var. 3), Webern (var. 41 ) Schubert (var. 8), Brahms (vars. 9-13)
and other composers. In a postmodern approach to a set of variations,
you have to wait until the last move, no. 51, to obtain the theme on which
all the variations have been worked.
