Work introduction
These Variations deal with two themes which
are different in feeling, although they are closely related. Sometimes they
appear successively, sometimes simultaneously, once again demonstrating Badings’ oft-praised contrapuntal
mastery. As the Algemeen Handelsblad
commented in 1937, “One senses in these Symphonic Variations unusually great
talent, profound, clear thought and a strong, original personality. The work
stands before us as a manifestation of special creative power and pure
musicality.”
