Not the best, but I like playing the Beethoven Eroica Variations a lot! Other than that, the Poulenc Variations by Koji Taku, Gubaidulina Chaconne, Dohnanyi Passacaglia, Theme and Variations mvt of the Dutilleux Sonata, and the Szymanowski Variations to name a few that haven’t been mentioned.

At a glance you might think the Bach Scholar isn’t held in very high regard here, but that’s until you realise that people have watched every youtube video with him, and read every comment he’s written. :yum:

Personally I’m so glad he’s finally dropped that. It was amusing the first time I heard it, but it really didn’t survive repeated hearings - and he insited on playing it whenever he came within the vicinity of a piano for six fucking years.
