KlappentextNeben seinen 18 Klaviersonaten hat Mozart auch fast ebenso viele, nämlich 15 Variationszyklen hinterlassen. Variationen über populäre, aber auch über eigene Themen waren damals eine Art Modeartikel, und Mozart steuerte ebenfalls seinen Teil dazu bei. Sicher auch aus finanziellen Gründen - Modeartikel lassen sich nun einmal gut verkaufen. So sind Mozarts Variationen, ganz im Gegensatz zu seinen Klaviersonaten, alle zu seinen Lebzeiten im Druck erschienen. Dass es Modeartikel waren, bedeutet aber, gerade bei Mozart, nicht, dass sie nicht von feinster Qualität wären, voller Erfindungsreichtum, Spielfreude und Eleganz. Man sollte sie nicht unterschätzen, sondern einfach seine Freude an diesen wunderschönen Werken haben.Though 18 piano sonatas is a respectable amount for any composer, Mozart also left almost as many - namely 15 - variation cycles. Variations on popular themes, but also on original tunes, were a kind of fashion craze back then, and Mozart made his contribution in this field as well.
Certainly, financial considerations played a role here; after all, fashionable items sell well. Thus Mozart's variations, in contrast to his piano sonatas, were all published during his lifetime. The fact that these were articles of taste did not mean that they were not of the finest quality, especially with Mozart. In these variations, a wealth of imagination and stylish elegance come together for joyful music-making. One should not underestimate them, but simply take pleasure in these wonderful works.
