Variations for the main theme

  • Especially in classical compositions, a main theme can of course be kept alive over a longer period of time or even taken up conceptually in different pieces. To a certain extent, this can also be applied to other styles.
    Repetitions of the theme with different groups of instruments, variations in the accompaniment or the second voice, a different key or speed, or an interesting chain of effects, provide more variety without changing the theme.
