Theme And Variations Op. 72

Glazunov’S Theme And Variations, Op 72, Was Written In 1900 And Is One Of Three Large Scale Works For Piano (The Others Being His Two Sonatas) Completed During His Last Significant Period As A Composer—1899 To 1906. Originally Given The Title ‘Variations On A Finnish Folk Song’, The Folksong Used As Its Theme Is The Same One At The Root Of Glazunov’S Later Finnish Fantasy For Orchestra. The Work Comprises A Theme And Fifteen Variations And Is Undoubtedly One Of His Most Successful And Attractive Forays Into The Piano Medium.
