Haydn Variations

Album by Johannes Brahms & Philharmonia Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn is an orchestral composition by Johannes Brahms, completed in 1873. The work uses a theme attributed to Haydn as the basis for a series of variations that combine classical forms and contrapuntal technique with Romantic harmonic language and orchestral colour, and it stands among Brahms's mid-career efforts to synthesise historical models within his orchestral writing.
