As a matter of fact, the theme is meant to be a portrait of her, something that I'd never had the idea of attempting before. I will always remember the day I first played this piece for her as one of the happiest in my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSave perhaps for the slightly naughty inclusion of a meaningful French folksong somewhere in the texture during the coda, there are no motivic allusions or musical codes à la Robert and Clara. The music is as pure and loving as I knew how to make it, though in the instance of variation 3, the composer-pianist in me couldn't resist welding the theme to an extended passage from the last movement of Beethoven's Sonata in E Major, Op. 109, one of Cathy's favorite pieces, by the one composer she could never do without.\" (Marc-André Hamelin)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42657539195015,"sku":"EP68371","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8635\/5591\/files\/0b171a798d966d9aabdc66207acab923.jpg?v=1784029519","url":"https:\/\/www.editionpeterspublications.us\/ja\/products\/hamelin-theme-and-variations-peters","provider":"Edition Peters Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
