2372.789 - 2403.226 Max Richter

I think music has always done this. I mean, you know, variation forms, the idea of a fantasia on whatever it might be, you I mean, Vivaldi did it with Vivaldi's own music. Bach rewrote, reworked, you know, so many different of his own pieces. Also Vivaldi, of course. If you think of someone like Liszt or Brahms, you know, they were writing variations, versions of other people's music.
