8 Variations Cycles for Piano

In his piano works M.I. Glinka tried to cling to the pianistic tradition of the period before Liszt, avoiding the unnecessary virtuosity and heaviness of a texture. Like many Russian composers at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Glinka often turned to the genre of piano variations. The choice of themes that formed the basis of the variations cycle is wide: the composer addressed himself not only to folk themes, but also to the famous melodies from the works by other authors (Cherubini, Bellini, Mozart, Alyabyev).
The collection will be interesting for musicians of various performing abilities, from students of music schools and colleges to concert pianists.
