@futurstarsinger Hehe ok. It's probably is easier to hear it if you know that it starts around 4:07. And i mistyped: it actually ends around 8:29 (not :39). The variazioni are 4/4 and the following minuet is, as is traditional, 3/4.

@nyo267n lol no I was actually asking cause I don't get the change
-
...or do you simply mean that the variations on this theme are endless? Then check out Brahms...
-
@futurstarsinger You really can't recognize when that theme ends? ;P Around 8:39.

Now that I've practised this piece, at least the variations from 4:08 to 8:28 (the theme Brahms used in his wonderful variations), I really appreciate what the harpsichordist has done, adding flourishes and ornaments the way I'm sure a Baroque performer would have done. They're delightful and add real excitement to the piece.

when does the variazioni end???
-
beautiful!
-
very nice! :)
P.S. it is not HWV 494, it's HWV 434

This movement is a theme with variations. The change of tempo and character corresponds to the first variation. See what Johannes Brahms made with the same theme, 150 years around later (Varaitions and fugue on a theme of Haendel in B flat major op.24)
Nice minuet...
8:30
