Fretted guitar SKU: PR.UE038028
For guitar. Composed by Anton Webern. Arranged by Tristan Manoukian. Score. 8 pages. Universal Edition #UE038028. Published by Universal Edition (PR.UE038028). UPC: 803452072775.
The Variations were the only solo piano piece published in Webern's lifetime and the last Webern piece published by UE while he was alive. While musicologists wax poetic about Webern's 12-tone technique and whether the title Variations is appropriate, we will praise Manoukian for a successful transcription of the work for solo guitar. With fingerings and notations, his score brings Webern's landmark work to an entirely new group of musicians.
