Episode description

In this episode we play the variations by Ludwig van Beethoven on a theme by Mozart, “Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen?.  This is based on a theme from the opera The Magic Flute originally sung by a soprano and a baritone in a duet.  Musicians in Beethoven's time were very adept at playing and improvising variations.  They could even improvise on a melody or favorite tune given to them by a member of the audience.  Beethoven wrote many variations for piano solo and many variations for cello and piano.  We hope you enjoy it.
