Variations with Haydn op. 85 for piano 變奏曲 鋼琴 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

德國聯邦議院議長諾貝特-拉默特要求我創作一首與德國國歌有關的鋼琴作品，並將於2017年秋季他從政治活動中退休之際首次演奏。曲名 "海頓變奏曲"（Variationen mit Haydn）表明，海頓自己的讚美詩變奏曲是作品的一部分，但一出現就被修改了。樂曲由海頓設定的主題和四組變奏組成，每組四首變奏，每首變奏的第一樂段在聽覺上接近海頓，而其他樂段則逐漸遠離海頓。主題在尾聲中再次出現，非常輕柔而沉思--被破壞了，但並沒有破碎。斯特凡-豪

原文簡介:
The President of the German Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, asked me to compose a piano work which should relate to the German anthem and was to be performed for the first time on the occasion of his retirement from political activities in autumn 2017. The title Variationen mit Haydn [Variations with Haydn] illustrates that Haydn's own variations on his hymn are part of the work, yet are modified immediately upon appearance. The piece consists of the theme as set by Haydn, four groups of four variations each, with the first of each variation being audibly close to Haydn, while the others gradually move farther away from him. The theme reappears in the coda very softly and pensively – damaged, yet not broken. Stefan Heucke
