Elisabeth-Variationen

Another volume from the Elisabeth Pfeiffer presents series: What would it have been like if Franz Schubert had written for ukulele? Sebastian Krämer asked himself this question and composed five variations on his own ‘Theme Viennese Style’ for Elisabeth Pfeiffer. She writes about this work: ‘Sebastian Krämer has shown that the ukulele is capable of complex, polyphonic music. Not only does he utilise the characteristics of the ukulele; he also brings them to full expression. These variations are among the most beautiful and some of the most technically demanding pieces in my repertoire.’
