Variations; Romantic. Score. 28 pages. Duration 17'. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 8727. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-8727).ISBN 9790004181515. 12 x 9 inches.
After Reger ( The Hermit Playing the Violin , EB 8725) and Wagner ( Rhinegold Prelude and Finale , EB 8726), Klaus Uwe Ludwig now sets out to find the most appropriate organ sounds for two of Johannes Brahms's most popular orchestral works. Ludwig is fully justified in pointing out that Brahms's own organ works tend to be inspired by Baroque models and thus do not represent stylistically adequate models. Ludwig's transcriptions of the Academic Festival Overture and the Haydn Variations consistently retain the articulation of the orchestral scores and generally closely follow the source; moreover, the original orchestration is also often indicated in the music text. Performers will appreciate these references in their creative interpretation of these works.
Johannes Brahms wrote his Haydn Variations in summer 1873. The world premiere took place on 2 November of that year in Vienna under the direction of the composer. The first edition (score and parts) was published by N. Simrock (Berlin) in 1874.

Originally this piece, St. Anthonys Chorale was a piece in its own right and attributed perhaps incorrectly to Haydn. Brahms, with his panache for Theme and Variations pieces originally wrote this as an orchestral piece and not an organ piece. This is why the 2 stars. It doesnt translate well to the organ, in my opinion. I would recommend other Brahms music over this piece.
