Variationen Op. 27

Description

Guitar — The Variations were the only solo piano piece published in Webern's lifetime and the last Webern piece published by UE while he was alive. While musicologists wax poetic about Webern's 12-tone technique and whether the title "Variations" is appropriate, we will praise Manoukian for a successful transcription of the work for solo guitar. With fingerings and notations, his score brings Webern's landmark work to an entirely new group of musicians.
