Mozart - Variations on "La belle Françoise", K.353 (1782) {Ingrid Haebler}

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 - 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the classical era. According to Bartje Bartmans one of the greatest and brightest stars on the firmament.
12 Variations on "La belle françoise," in E flat major, K. 353 (K. 300f) (Paris, 1778? Vienna, 1782?)
Ingrid Haebler, piano
Description by Brian Robins
A companion work to the popular set of Variations for piano (12) in C major on "Ah, vous dirai-je maman" K. 265 (K. 300e), the E flat Variations are also based on a French tune. The origin of the theme is unknown, but it has been suggested that the popular, rustic nature of the tune indicates an air from one of the "village operas" which became popular in France in the wake of Rousseau's Le Devin du Village (1752), the source of Mozart's own Bastien and Bastienne, K. 50. As with K. 265, the present work has traditionally been assigned to the summer of 1778, the disastrous period spent in the Paris during which Mozart's mother died. More recent research now dates both sets to Mozart's early months in Vienna. Here again the naive innocence of the theme is treated to a series of often virtuoso variants (Variation 7, for instance) before Mozart brings back the original theme to die away pianissimo in a short coda. An announcement by the music dealer Lorenz Lausch in the Weiner Zeitung of April 2 advertized the sale of the variations along with two other sets based on French tunes, K. 264 and K. 354.

Mozart + France = pure beauty

Mozart hated France. His mother died there.

[@jorgeaguirre7260]

It has a lot of moments on where it makes you think of Beethoven....

[@alessandromancini2635]

Yes, I agree with you. In particular in var 6, 7 and 8

[@psalm2764]

Beethoven killed Mozart and stole his music.

[@psalm2764]

@@Kleermaker1000 Beethoven was a leach. And he suffered for it.
