Variation - Works for solo violin and solo violoncello by Michael ShapiroNotes by the composer Meriiam-Webster defines "variation" as the repetition of a musical theme with modifications in rhythm, tune, harmony, or key. When composing, I much prefer to think of the word's primary definition: "the act or process of varying the state or fact of being." For me, a musical theme is one view of reality, its intervals creating its definition and direction, a statement rather than an elaboration. A variation however takes the listener somewhere else. The terrain may look familiar but it's somehow new. Each variation then may take something from the theme that is valued but molded into something unexpected. Some themes are difficult to vary, they're just too complete in themselves, but choosing the right theme pregnant with meanings makes change more readily apparent. Rushing ahead or pulling back, asserting a rhythm derived from the theme's gait but moving it into an altered walk, or pointing out a moment ignored from the theme's first telling, are but a few possibilities. What's not thought of is often a welcome change. * on Eliahu Hanavi for solo violoncello was premiered by cellist Ithay Khen at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany in 1994.
