ROSSINI Introduction, Theme & Variations for Clarinet and Orchestra
HINDEMITH Symphonic Metamorphosis: Variations on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber
Themes & Variations explores the range of interpretation and inventiveness of composers. Copland’s The Red Pony Suite is based on John Steinbeck’s beautiful story of a boy and his horse. Crussell’s works are noted for their lyricism, rich harmonies and craftsmanship. Rossini composed Introduction, Theme and Variations at the age of 18, remaining a virtuostic staple for clarinetists. Hindemith sketched a series of movements on themes by Carl Maria von Weber for a ballet. While the collaboration fell through, Hindemith revised it into the Metamorphosis; a splashy, bombastic yet delicate work. Every instrument is showcased in this thematic play, as melodies escape from one and jump to the other.
