Variations
in C (c.1810) on an original theme, for violin & piano *
* These Variations by Rudolf Johann Joseph Rainer, Archduke of Austria & Tuscany and Archbishop of Olmütz, were originally for piano, with the accompaniment of the czakan, an early 19th-century novelty instrument combining a recorder and a walking stick. Such an instrumentation was unusual, but hardly unprecedented at the time. Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and Schubert published chamber and solo repertoire for exotic instruments: the glass armonica (tuned glass bowls rotating on an axle), arpeggione (a fretted collision of the Renaissance viol with the guitar), lira organizata (Orgel-Leier, or organ hurdygurdy), Flötenuhr (organ music box), and various non-standard instruments with piano. |
