Brahms - Variations on a Theme by Haydn for Euphonium & PianoThe Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56, one of Brahms' greatest creations was written and premiered in 1873. It consists of a theme and eight variations, plus a grand finale. It was written in two forms, one for two pianos and the more well known orchestral version.
