for piano. Preface - Notes on Interpretation - Handel Variations, op. 24 - Critical NotesJohannes Brahms showed an interest in the music of previous epochs at an early age. In this context, he also came across the variation theme of George Frideric Handel which, in turn, inspired him to write an extensive work of variations for the piano.
