Beautiful variations by Beethoven on the lovely theme of the magic flute by Mozart whom he greatly admired.

So beautiful. Just today I discovered that Beethoven wrote these variations.

Fantastic! Lovely! Great coordination and control even at the high speed. A marvelous rendition.

We can learn just about every cello technique from these delightful variations. So why load students down with those boring and unmusical studies.

Un divertissement tipicamente settecentesco/illuminista tra le dita di B. si illumina di una più profonda linea sentimentale quasi mistica
Ove c'è ne fosse bisogno di sottolinearlo : La genie ( d'entrambi) ca se n'expliwie pas

[marichristian]

I know which part I'd rather play!

toevallig gehoord op klara continuo en gaan opzoeken op YouTube

In my opinion, I think the Mozart version is better than the Beethoven version!
