QuasiAllegro Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone know if there exists a series of variations on Mozart's theme from the Magic Flute, the one where Papageno plays his glockenspiel and all of Monastos's men go away dancing? Quote
EldKatt Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Yes. Google found me Fernando Sor's Op. 9, for guitar. It wouldn't surprise me if there are others, though. Quote
Will Kirk Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Fernando Sor's Opus 9 Variations on a Theme of Mozart In total there are 6 variations (including the Coda) It's quite a good piece of music, I myself have played it on several occasions, so I'd highly recommend it EDIT: crap, Eldkatt beat me to it :P Quote
Dirk Gently Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, Beethoven wrote some variations of a theme from The Magic Flute for either cello and piano or just piano... Edit: Yes, it was for piano and cello, but was variations of the Ein M Quote
QuasiAllegro Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 I just wanted this particular piece because I heard it on the radio once and I haven't been able to find it ever since. PS: I'm wiritng my own variations on it, but they probably won't be ready for some time. Quote
Mark Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I too have played the Sor variarions, a fun piece, and not too difficult :D Quote
QuasiAllegro Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 Are there any for violin and piano? Quote
Alex Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Well, assuming you're a composer, I suggest that if you can't find any for piano and violin, try composing them yourself. :) Good luck. ;) Quote
