Larry Weng: Beethoven: Variations On Themes By Grétry - Paisiello - Righini - Winter/

Even so great a composer as Beethoven wrote music that is now almost completely neglected and unperformed. This sequence brings together a portfolio of such works that focuses on his variations on popular operatic music of the time by Giovanni Paisiello, Peter Winter and André Grétry, and includes the witty and inventive variations on an arietta by Vincenzo Righini. The 'Piano Sonata in C major, WoO 51' was found among Beethoven's papers after his death and published in 1830. While it lacks a finale, it too offers a revealing look at an overlooked composition as do the two charming and unusual waltzes.

1: 7 Variations in F Major On the Quartet 'Kind, Willst Du Ruhig Schlafen' from Winter's Das Unterbrochene Opferfest, WoO75
2: 9 Variations in a Major On the Aria 'Quant' È Più Bello' from Paisiello's La Molinara, WoO69
3: Waltz in E-flat Major, WoO84
4: Waltz in D Major, WoO85
5: I. Allegro
6: II. Adagio
7: 8 Variations in C Major On the Romance 'Une Fièvre Brûlante' from Grétry's Richard Coeur-de-lion, WoO72
8: 24 Variations in D Major On Righini's Arietta 'Venni Amore', WoO65
