BEETHOVEN: NINE VARIATIONS FOR KEYBOARD
ON A MARCH BY ERNST CHRISTOPH DRESSLER, WoO 63
Christian Gottlob Neefe flourished as the Baroque was giving way to the Classical period. These Twelve Sonatas represent important steps in this transition, each having a uniquely individual character and showing a mixture of styles. Neefe is remembered today as Beethoven’s first main teacher in Bonn, the Dressler Variations being young Ludwig’s first published composition.
