BEETHOVEN – Adagio, from Op.34 – THREE CELLOS (easy)

Other Identification:
The “Adagio from Op. 34” refers to the first Variation of Beethoven’s Six Variations on an Original Theme in F major, Op. 34. This set of variations is notable for its unconventional approach to form and harmony, with each variation featuring a different key, tempo, and meter. However, despite the radical changes, the theme and each variation maintain the original 22-bar structure of the theme.

The work was composed around 1802, and is academically very interesting, as it marked the beginning of Beethoven’s middle period.
Movements or sections: The first variation is marked as an “Adagio,” which is of quite especially slow tempo here.
Instrumentation: TRIO OF THREE CELLOS
Arranged by David Johnstone

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he  loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
