Product Description

North of Schumann is a Theme and Variations for Piano Solo, with the theme being an arrangement of Schumann's Northern Song, Op 68, No 41, which every piano student learns. I slightly modified Schumann's one page work in order to create my theme. The first variation is quasi-Baroque in an ornamented 2 part setting mostly following the 'Soprano and Bass' lines of the theme. The second variation is an expressive neo-Romantic version, still in 2 part, but with chromatic movement of the lines freely based on the predominant chord or melodic note of each measure. The third variation is a rhythmic Caribbean Jazz Groove loosely based on some of the theme's chord progressions. The Coda is yet another light re-arrangement of the Theme. Since each variation is in a different period style this piece is great for student learning as well as recitals to show your proficiency in many different genres.
