Rassemblé autour de l'instrument, la société attend de lui qu'il divertisse, qu'il lui plaise. Le Musicien doit donner la preuve de son talent de virtuose et, si possible, démontrer en même temps qu'il possède aussi un talent d'improvisateur, mais seulement dans un cadre donné, en observant toujours les convenances en ne s'imposant jamais au-delà de la mesure, en donnant du plaisir à tous en embellissant et en variant un air familier - l'air d'un autre. Il n'est pas censé avoir une idée qui lui soit propre ; l'exercice académique consiste à s'approprier l'idée d'un autre musicien et à l'exploiter selon des canons bien définis. Depuis qu'il a commencé à célébrer la musique d'autres compositeurs dans ses variations, la quinzaine d'ensembles de variations de Mozart nous présente un large panorama du répertoire le plus populaire auprès du public européen et de ses préférences musicales, car seuls des thèmes et des airs familiers et reconnaissables ont été utilisés. Fêtes nationales aux Pays-Bas, avec des thèmes tirés de la musique du festival anniversaire pour Guillaume de Nassau, et de la musique populaire néerlandaise pour K24 et K25 ; chansons françaises (Ah vous dirai-je, maman K265 ; La Belle Françoise K353 ; Lison dormait K264 ; Je suis Lindor K354). Et de nombreux compositeurs en vogue à l'époque : Gluck K555, Grétry K352, Duport K573, Fischer K179, Salieri K180, Sarti K460, Paisiello K398, mais si peu sur ses propres thèmes K500, K581. Les variations sont un jeu, un jeu de mémoire impliquant le souvenir du thème et de la mélodie dans son exploitation où il est encore reconnu, mais transformé au cours de la série (qui contient six, jamais moins, à douze variations). Un jeu de virtuosité aussi dans l'invention d'idées et d'ornements originaux autour du thème donné ; un jeu de vitesse dans toutes les transformations autorisées par les conventions (doubles croches, demi croches, triolets et trilles) ; et un jeu de changement d'ambiance par la modification des tempi, et de la variation obligatoire dans une tonalité mineure. En ce sens, les variations, souvent composées sur un coup de tête à une occasion précise, représentent un véritable travail d'improvisation. Mais cela aussi fait partie du plaisir du jeu. Bien que Mozart n'ait pas atteint le niveau d'appropriation-transformation du genre que Beethoven devait atteindre dans les Variations Diabelli - qui représentent un degré extrême de sophistication et de génie dans cette forme précise et sa transfiguration - les variations pour piano de Mozart ne doivent pas être considérées comme un genre mineur dans sa production. Bien au contraire, elles témoignent de la spontanéité de son inspiration lorsqu'elles sont le fruit d'une recherche ludique et, à ce titre, elles nous apprennent beaucoup sur le compositeur. Toute la liberté du processus de création de Mozart est mise en jeu, dans lequel se trouve le développement d'un genre : issue de la plus galante des traditions, la variation échappe à son acceptation confinée et conventionnelle et est élevée à un nouveau niveau de maturité.

I was in fact wondering how Mozart creations were sound back in the day.. Pity they didn't have modern pianos... All the "lightness" on a cembalo must have missed the mark

[@roberthill799]

I'm not familiar with that term. Is it another word for harpsichord? The guide at his house in Salzburg demo'd Mozart's piano forte briefly when I visited many years ago.

so soothing and spirited at the same time. thank you for your short and musically prolific life, WA Mozart.

[@Teddy_Toto]

The comparison of Mozart and Beethoven on the art of the thema and variations, suggested in the description section, is very interesting. Although it’s difficult to generalize, there is a difference in general approach, it seems to me. Both reveal the essence and beauty of a theme through variations elaboration. For me, Mozart is like holding a jewel to the light and revealing the many facets. With Beethoven, some variations seem to transform into an entirely new essence.

[@VaggosWho]

There is no comparison between any composer. Every Composer had his unique - perfect style

[@titicatfollies6615]

teddy toto - Thank you! Very beautifully described.

[@catherinejones9396]

Good comment Teddy

[@vladimir1341]

Mozart uplifts me. Beethovan depresses me.

[@InvestingForTomorrow24]

Very astute analysis of the difference in theme development between these two pillars of classical. As a pianist, I initially disliked Mozart because his music seemed not to take a discernible direction, whereas Beethoven to my ear is definitely going from point A to point B and all the genius and embellishment, ornamental figures, and flourishes are subordinate to the arrival at a destination. I used to have an excellent bust of Mozart but gave it to Goodwill, now I regret it since I have evolved to appreciate Wolfgang.

[@jerrydavid4615]

What a surprise! I had no idea Mozart had written so many variations. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@jesusdominguez_2004]

[@shimmime]

Thank for for uploading these lesser-known works from Mozart. They are such a lovely surprise, and the pianist plays them so tenderly. And that really is an endearing picture of Mozart :)

[@shimmime]

@@DynamicMateTV Is it because Mozart expresses himself more freely in these pieces? I certainly find that compared to some of his more famous works. But I think he's most expressive in his concertos, which totally blow me away

[@aspringall3012]

They're lesser known because they're not very good. Not everything written by even a great composer is necessarily brilliant. Bear in mind that they were writing to order so some work would inevitably be substandard

[@shimmime]

[@ghostofyeats]

Mozart used the structure of theme and variations very extensively and in far more pieces than those listed here, including piano pieces (the famous K311 comes to mind). Off the top of my head, I know he uses it in a couple of slow movements of his piano concertos, and memorably in the last movement of his C minor piano concerto. There's also a beautiful if haunting set that makes up the last movement of his D minor Haydn quartet.

[@vrlarsen1]

Interestingly, I don't believe Mozart used the structure of theme and variations with any of his middle or late symphonies. Let me know if he did! Have you ever listened to any of the piano & violin sonatas? He wrote at least four movements of theme and variations for as many sonatas, I believe: Sonata in A K.305 (3rd movement), Sonata in G K.379 (2nd movement), Sonata in F K.377 (2nd movement), and Sonata in F K. 547 (3rd movement). They are absolutely fabulous!

[@ghostofyeats]

@@vrlarsen1 I think you're right, I'm not aware of Mozart having used theme and variations in his middle or late symphonies. I have listened to some of the violin sonatas and they are indeed gorgeous! My favorite though is K. 526 (which doesn't use the variations form). I especially love the middle movement, it creates an incredible feeling.

[@brandonmatuja6498]

These are the BEST performances of these variation-sets that I have yet heard! This Walter Chodack plays with the gusto and enthusiasm I find essential in performing Mozart, but which others have seemed to sadly lack.

[@metteholm4833]

[@jeanpi314159]

it's curious you mention Moriz Rosenthal as an American, because he was born and studied in Kiev, and has been Liszt's pupil...thus, he only afterwards crossed over the Ocean... Rosen was his pupil : American, of course, but as Rosenthal's pupil and a pianist, somehow european. Serkin as an Austrian whose father was Russian, he studied in Wien and in Berlin and left Germany due to nazism... then, Chodack is an American, but whose parents are Russian emigrants and later, Chodack came and settled in Paris, for the rest of his live : is he French ?
