Sarah Beth Briggs (piano)About
Sarah Beth Briggs's collection of Variations underlines a lineage of the genre through the classical and romantic eras. Opening the programme is 9 Variations on a Minuet by Duport by Mozart, whom Beethoven greatly admired. The work takes a theme by cellist Jean-Pierre Duport, chamber music director of the court of the Prussian King, Friedrich Wilhelm II, from whom the composer hoped to gain favour. Mendelssohn's Variations sérieuses was written as a tribute to Beethoven, and was included in an album of works that raised funds for the now famous bronze statue of Beethoven in Bonn. Mendelssohn's near contemporary Brahms paid tribute to his troubled friend Robert Schumann, using a melody from Bunte Blätter ("Colourful Leaves") in his poignant Variations on a Theme by Schumann.
