Carmen Piazzini (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
Throughout the history of music, the art of variation was always held in high esteem. Added to which, the genius of Beethoven was never outstripped by any other - this, at least, is known and accepted. So how can it be, that at the heart of his most fascinating, greatest and perhaps profoundest work for piano there lies a harmless waltz by Anton Diabelli, a ditty so to speak and one whose theme Beethoven once deridingly called "a tune with a cobbler's patch" because of a somewhat banal harmonic change that employs a seventh chord. Was he just trying to prove that an immensely creative spirit is capable of setting light to any musical idea, however simple?
