about Music Programme 92. Brahms Variations: Programme description
Brahms, as arguably the closest follower of Beethoven in the Romantic period, wrote many sets of variations as did Beethoven.
Today we listen to his variations on themes of Paganini, Schumann, and Haydn, including the first set of Variations written for orchestra that was stand-alone (meaning, not part of a longer work.)
