Variations

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Gianluca Cascioli

Variations is a set of piano variations by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and published in 1823. The work explores a wide range of pianistic textures and harmonic experimentation, moving between virtuosic passages and contemplative introspection, and it occupies a significant place in Beethoven's late-period output and the development of the piano repertoire.
