‘Ewald Demeyere’

The Belgian harpsichordist Ewald Demeyere takes us on an exploration of the variation, a writing technique where a musical idea is repeated but altered in some way every time. This temporal and spatial journey begins in Late Renaissance England with John Munday and William Byrd, crosses the Channel to meet the German Froberger and the Bach dynasty, before ending up in late 18th century Austria, where Mozart composed his very well-known 12 Variations on the tune "Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman".
