From the Introduction:
As an extension of our edition "Kuhlau : Piano Sonatas", we are following up with "Kuhlau : Piano Variations". These two genres, sonatas and variations, were (together with rondos) the most common types of piano music at the time; and, like the variation works of other composers, Kuhlau’s were based on popular melodies of the day – either from operas (mostly, arias) or folksongs. --------
