Siegfried Ochs
1859–1929
Variations on German Folksong
Modern edition by David Whitwell
Ochs studied music at the Royal School of Music in Berlin where he was a student
of Joseph Joachim. He founded the Berlin Philharmonic Choir and specialized in
the performance of early music. His Variations on a German Folksong, the children’s
song, ‘Kommt ein Vogel geflogen,’ was first published for band and latter arranged for
orchestra and also for piano by Busoni. Each variation is in the style of a different
composer, including Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Beethoven, Gounod,
Meyerbeer, in the style of a Viennese Waltz and concluding in the style of a
German Military March.
