{"product_id":"variations-on-a-theme-franck-9790708167778","title":"Variations on a Theme Franck","description":"These editions mark the first publication of Julius Röntgen's Variations on a Theme by César Franck and his Variations on a Theme by Beethoven. Both works have been recorded and published by Nimbus. Each unique set of variations demonstrates Julius Röntgen's capabilities of a composer in general and in this important genre specifically. Röntgen's writing is effortless, balanced, harmonically interesting and highly expressive. The editors believe that introducing this publication into the 2-piano literature will give performers and audiences a new work of artistic merit and musical excellence. Composed is a set of twelve variations with Finale. The theme - Chant de la Creuse - is a 19-measure folksong in D Minor which was not composed by Franck at all The twelve variations exhibit a mastery of unity in terms of their expressivity, moods and architecture in addition to their obvious thematic connections. Röntgen was a meticulous composer and the manuscript held at Netherlands Music Institute in Den Haag, is comprised of a separate score for each piano part. The end of both parts concludes with \"23 Sept, 1903\" in the composer's hand. Edited by Mark Anderson and Michelle Mares.","brand":"Nimbus Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50533758500947,"sku":"2323471X","price":62.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3851241.jpg?v=1791898366","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/variations-on-a-theme-franck-9790708167778","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
