Lorenz Schmidt: Thema mit Variationen fur zwei Gitarren

Theme and Variations for two guitars. These variations for two guitars do not limit themselves to a mere extension of classical variation techniques with modern melodic and harmonic devices that have their origin in references from literary texts. Inspired by a poem by Ruth Brosette, the variations represent, by the use of an austere theme joined with tone pictures derived from the text, the transformation of the objective into the sensual as the individual variations progress.
