Freedom within constraint: in praise of variation
After a formidable first volume, Cédric Tiberghien continues his exploration of Beethoven’s corpus of variations. At the heart of this new album are the famous Thirty-two Variations in C minor and their tangy reminiscences of Bach – the Ciaccona from Partita no.2 for violin solo, presented here in Brahms’s masterly transcription. He also takes the opportunity to show us what a certain school of American composers (Crumb, Cage, Feldman) has made of this tradition of variation form.
