November 25, 20169 yr Variazioni Rossini.mp3 My submission! Based on the Aria from Armida "Germano, a te richiede..." at https://youtu.be/GdY_A4gQQSg?t=15m31s (begins at around 15:30 in the video) Click on the Program Notes for lengthier details on the piece. A quite (a lot!) difficult piece and surely not my best work, but it's fairly silly Thank you for listening! Edited November 25, 20169 yr by Monarcheon mp3 added
November 25, 20169 yr Bravo! These were amazing! Reminds me of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations in terms of the diversity of style and wit.
November 25, 20169 yr Author Thank you a lot! Sadly I finished the work in a hurry, so I had the fear that the more humoristic moments were a little "gross".
December 7, 20169 yr Ok so this is one of the best entries so far, and they've all been impressive. I find myself favoring the entries whose variations flow into one another more naturally which includes this entry. The sixth, seventh and eighth are my favorites, and they all blend together really nicely. Maybe a little too much so but I'll leave that determination to the judges. With this, I've finished listening to all the entries and this was as fitting as any for a 'finale' to my experience. Good luck in the competition!
December 15, 20169 yr Oh my! Seriously, this is way more interesting than my entry!!! I love the wittiness and the fact that the piano writing is virtuosic. My only criticism is the introduction part, it just doesn't mesh well with what comes afterwards. Congratulations on such a fine achievement!
December 15, 20169 yr These are very interesting and humorous variations on this theme! Also, your piano writing is amazing.
