8 variations for piano on a late Beethoven piano sketch

[Gerd Prengel]

A few years ago a short sketch for a Bagatelle from 1826 was identified among Beethoven's sketches for his last stringquartett. On this beautiful melancholic theme with an harmonically interesting bassline I wrote 8 variations for piano. Besides bars 9-12 the first 16 bars are from Beethoven.

What do you think ...?

These are the very last notes Beethoven wrote for piano, on which I wrote my variations :-) http://gerdprengel.de/Sketch_Bagatelle.jpg
