A remarkable set of 40 variations derived from a single melody by Otaker Sevcik. Arranged for the Viola with Piano accompaniment, the variations become progressively more complex and difficult throughout the work, making this set ideal as a set of challenging exercises for the Viola student. As well as presenting a huge variety of technical goals, much can be learned from this work about the nature of composition, melody-building and the potential versatility of a single melodic idea. A superb and satisfyingly musical teaching aid.

Variations on a Chord was composed on the occasion of the second lustrum of the Dutch Brass Band Championships celebrated in 1990. The piece is the immediate sequel to Contrasten a piece which was composed in 1986, and which is performed all over the world. Not only was the final chord of this previous work used as a starting point for the new composition, but Variations on a Chord is also the first concert piece for brass band composed by Jan de Haan since then. The several variations are based on a solemn theme. The so-called minor-major seventh chord is easily detectable. The structure of the piece is such that the lyrical theme is preceded by a majestic introduction, and isfollowed by eight variations each strongly contrasting in character. The piece finishes in a short but extremely spectacular coda. Dit werk is een directe opvolger van het in 1986 geschreven Contrasten. Niet alleen vormde het slotakkoord van dit laatstgenoemde werk het uitgangspunt voor deze compositie. Variations on a Chord is tevens het tweedenadien geschreven concertwerk voor brassband van Jan de Haan. De verschillende variaties zijn gebaseerd op een gedragen thema. In dit thema, voorafgegaan door een majestueuze introductie is duidelijk de karakteristiek van het zogenaamdeklein-groot (of naamloze) septiemakkoord te herkennen. Daarna volgen acht qua karakter zeer verschillende variaties op dit thema.

These variations on Happy Birthday to You came about - well, how else - on the occasion of a birthday: A nice colleague of mine was acquainted with an excellent flutist. Her twin sister was friends with a good oboist. So, two birthday girls and two melody instruments - what was more obvious than to write a dozen congratulations for this line-up.A viola part in viola clef, a part in b-flat transposition and another part in bass clef have been added so that these variations can be performed in a variety of ways (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, soprano saxophone, violin, viola, cello, etc.). (Ulrich Kaiser, Munich)For all the Birthday Boys and Girls around the World.

Obwohl die Variationen vorwiegend von rationalen Kompositionsmitteln in Anlehnung an Reihentechniken Schonbergs und des spaten Strawinsky gepragt sind, ist in ihnen das spielerische musikantische Element und der tanzerische Charakter, wenn auch immer wieder anders gebrochen, erhalten geblieben. (Helmut Lachenmann, 1985) Das burgerliche Denken ist gekennzeichnet durch ein hochentwickeltes System von Verdrangungsmechanismen, welche die Isolation, Entfremdung, Angst und Sprachlosigkeit des Individuums uberspielen sollen. Unser Kulturbetrieb ist ein wesentlicher Teil dieses Verdrangungssystems. In diesem Sinn hat er die Tradition in Beschlag genommen: die Illusion einer in Wirklichkeit langst verlorenen gemeinsamen Verstandigungsbasis bewahrt er durch die Konservierung und Fetischisierung historischer asthetischer Kategorien und daran gebundener Wertvorstellungen; als Synonym fur tabuisierte Konvention bildet Tradition heute einen verraterischen Teil dieser unserer Wirklichkeit. Die Funf Variationen uber ein Thema von Franz Schubert sind 1956, also noch vor meinem Studium bei Nono, entstanden. In ihnen ist jener oben ausgefuhrte gesellschafts- und kulturbetriebskritische Ansatz noch kaum erkennbar, eher keimhaft verborgen. Ich mag das Stuck so, wie einer vielleicht Souvenirs aus seiner Jugend mag. Es ist vorwiegend von rationalen Prinzipien in Anlehnung an Motivtechniken Schonbergs und des spaten Strawinsky gepragt, und doch ist das musikantische Element und der tanzerische Charakter, wenn auch immer anders gebrochen, erhalten geblieben. Noch nicht ausgepragt ist hierin der Widerstand gegen Tradition, insofern deren Kategorien als herrschende Konventionen jenen zuvor erwahnten burgerlichen Verdrangungsmechanismen unterstellt sind.

Jan de Haan drew inspiration for this work from five paintings exhibited in The Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, one of the largest and most versatile museums in the world. He used the melodious Andante cantabile from the String Quartet Op. 11 by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as its starting point. Thus, he created his own musical painting, which is just as varied as the underlying canvases--from Cheerful Company by Dirck Hals to Dance II by Henri Matisse. A true work of art!

Rachmaninof f wrote his well-known piano cycle in 1931, at a time when his great works for piano solo and the piano concertos had already made him very famous. Yet it is by no means the “work of an old manâ€. The composerÂ’s variations on the theme “La folia†(taken from a sonata by Corelli) are like a series of fireworks on the piano. He once drily said to a friend, “All this mad running about is necessary in order to efface the themeâ€. Did Rachmaninoff succeed in silencing “la folia†– i.e. the “madnessâ€? Why not seefor yourself!
