If you love this tune (and who doesn't?) this is a must-have. This setting begins with a majestic Introduction and Theme which treat the meldoy in ways that will be familiar to you, albeit with some nice harmonic freshness. After that all bets are off. A graceful Menuet follows, at a mezzo-piano dynamic with oboe and flute solo lines, and then a sweet Berceuse with the melody in the pedal (Flute 2') ends the variations! Not what you expected, and there's the charm of it.
