"Variatio delectat": altering is fun, for example, when a musical section is played twice. But how should the written notation be varied upon repetition? "As you like, but with taste," respond the old ornamentation teachings. Some composers are more specific and provide their alternatives right away. Johann Sebastian Bach, for instance, includes a "Double" alongside each of the four dance movements in his h-minor Partita for solo violin. Giuseppe Tartini, the great pedagogue among the Italian virtuosos, has left an ornamented version of the first movement in one of his g-minor sonatas. And Franz Benda, the violinist of Frederick the Great, had his master pupil Friedrich Wilhelm Rust notate the solo part for 33 sonatas in two versions. Whether the original version is now placed in the first or the second staff is sometimes not so easy to determine, says violinist Evgeny Sviridov. In Herne, he will present two of these exceptional Benda sonatas alongside Bach and Tartini. His accompanist Olga Pashchenko will add one of those works on the harpsichord, to which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach already promises the repetition solution in the title: "Six Sonatas for Clavier with altered reprises."
