The first of them, the Variations sérieuses op. 54, should probably be regarded as his most important piano work. It formed part of an anthology of works by renowned composers of the time, proceeds from the sales of which were intended for the erection of a Beethoven monument in Bonn. At that time, there was something of a production line of so-called Variations brillantes for piano; Mendelssohn gave his seventeen Variations in D minor op. 54 the tile Variations sérieuses to distance himself from these. The beautiful main theme has an earnest, poignant character that is sustained throughout all the transformations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  51480620\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  884088177409\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  \u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.093\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.3 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  24\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49379009364262,"sku":"51480620","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/99c5e8d4-b849-5ba6-a57c-90b85c9201ce.jpg?v=1723596361","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/felix-mendelssohn-bartholdy-variations-serieuses-op-54-piano-solo","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
