Brahms Variations
on: May 16, 2006, 12:37:09 AM
I will zero down right to the point. i have the sheet music for the brahms variations on paganini. i dont want to play all of them. but what i want to play is the 3rd variation ingolf wunder plays in this excerpt.

https://www.ingolfwunder.at/recordings/Brahms_Paganini_Variationen_Bd_1.mp3

the problem is, to be honest, im too dumb to find this variation. what i know is, that its pretty much in the end of the second set. please help me. answers greatly apreciated.

well, the 12th doesnt look at all like the music sounds. it says molto dolce, but in this variation, its lively and aggressiv and fast

The first 2 variations he plays are no. 1 and 2 from book 1, the third and fourth are number 12 and 14 from the same book.

The third item Wunder plays in this sound clip is #12 from Book 1, as Nicco confirmed above.  Do you mean the third variation after the initial statement of the theme, or the third item played?  If you mean the third variation after the initial statement of the theme, then it's #14, as Nicco points out, and it's allegro con fuoco.
