A list of variation pieces?There are too many important variations pieces to name them all, but wouldn't it be fun to casually make a list of the ones that have been important to you. Anyone care to join?
Here are the ones that come to my mind:
J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations
Beethoven's Diabelli Variations
Brahms's Haydn Variations
Faure has a variations piece that I just heard for the first time last night but don't remember the title
Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
Webern's Symphony movement II (the two other pieces titled 'Variations' in his output don't sound like standard variation forms to me.)
Schoenberg's Variations for Orchestra, and also his organ variations
virtually everything that Granger ever wrote, but Children's March and Green Bushes are some larger-scale examples
Ben Johnston's Variations on Amazing Grace
Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated
This is not at all a complete list, but I'm just having fun.
