Here are my Variations for Piano. Written in three short movements, the main "Theme and Variations" are found in the first movement, but in reality each complete movement is a variation on the theme as well.
For those not used to this style of writing, I should warn you that the Variations for Piano is a twelve-tone atonal piece, using tone-rows which are derived from Webern's final completed work the Cantata No. 2.
Lots of serial techniques are used in these variations, including canonic fugues, palindromes, retrograde patterns and tropes.
I have attached both midi files and the score - if watching the score , the best way is probably on page view.
Enjoy!!
