Kreisler/Corelli: La Folia for Violin and Piano

doing the daily thing is turning out to be pretty difficult.

for saturday: an arrangement of the famous theme la folia which has been used by over 150 composers throughout history, beginning at least in the 16th century.

d: (i)-V-i-VII-III-VII-i-V-(i)
this is the basic structure, which lends itself to an infinite number of fascinating variations. because the theme itself (and the chord progression) are so interesting, this is one set of theme and variations i find quite compelling.

the milstein below is corelli's own variations on the la folia theme.

enjoy.
