Tema con variazioni: Music with alterations
Music would be unimaginable without variations. They bring variety to every piece, be it through the embellishment of a melody, the variation of a rhythm or a harmonic shift. Variation has its origins in improvisation – and consequently in the earliest days of music-making. Here we present a kaleidoscope of variations: from the Renaissance to the present day.
