Abstract Details

2007, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Piano.
In 1802 Beethoven made a striking declaration to his publisher that he had adopted a completely new manner in his two latest sets of piano variations, Opp. 34 and 35, and consequently numbered them among his greater musical works. Four sets of Beethoven’s theme and variations for solo piano from different stylistic periods are studied: WoO76 from 1799 has been regarded as a model of Opp. 34 and 35 in the mediant key relationships (Op. 34) and in the culminating movements—the adagio and fugal finale (Op. 35), which are, in his own words, completely new and different from his earlier variation works, in a manner anticipative of the Diabelli Variations, Op. 120. Stylistic features and development demonstrated from these four works, as well as Beethoven’s use of fugue in his variation form are discussed.
