My wife heard a piece on the radio by Beethoven yesterday. It was called "Six Easy Variations on a Swiss Air in F." When she told me about it, I was surprised that I had never heard of it. I went through my several discs that include Beethoven Variations, and I couldn't find it. I went to the online lists of works (both with and without opus numbers), and I couldn't find anything with that exact title. In the WoO list, there were several entries titled "Variations for piano, " so I suppose that it could have been one of those. Does anyone know anything about this little piece: history, publication, good recording(s)? Thanks in advance. John Halbrooks [From the Beethoven page at Classical Net we find: 6 Variations on a Swiss Air in F Major, WoO. 64 (1793) They are relatively rarely recorded, but these variations are included in the Vox set of the complete (?) piano music played by Brendel which includes many of these less well-known works, also recommended at Classical Net. -Dave]
