"Variations on a Theme by Schumann" was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Westfield (NJ) High School Orchestra, Craig Stanton, Conductor. The theme is Robert Schumann's "The Happy Farmer" from his collection Album for the Young for piano. The best tunes for variations are those that are familiar, interesting and memorable, and on the (seemingly) simple side. The challenge for the composer is to make each variation interesting without losing sight of the original idea. This work first presents the theme, now cast for strings, as close to the original as possible, followed by up to six variations (the performers may do all or select a smaller number) and a coda that itself is a new twist on the theme — a fugue.
