Are you sure this is Sylvia Càpova playing? My Mariàn Pivka CD has the exact same rendition, which is only 5 variations.

I'm pretty sure there are six variations but I will check it.

I can't believe that you listened to the harpsichord versions (there are several here). If you do, you will have to take your words back. On piano it's nice, but on the Harpsichord it's powerful. On the piano it's fine, but on the harpsichord, it's memorable

You're right. I have the sheet, and there are 7 movements:

The first one is "Gavotte" and the others its 6 variations.

Brilliant and unusual rendition,charming yet being a bit too light overall...but it is well known that personal taste...rules.Both for performer and listener.

Oh, very nice.

Grazie.

i like the look of the 2 piano version which comes up on the video.

The themes is played beautifully,but some of the later variations are brilliant but lack depth- a dimension is missing,and it's got nothing to do with whether it's played on the harpsichord or piano.

Like the walking bassline at 2:20 and 2:40 :-)
