Here
Rheinberger drew on his
two-piano arrangement of
the Goldberg Variations
not only for the choice
of instruments, but also
for his arrangement
technique. At times
Mozart's piano part
alternates between the
two pianos, though
usually new parts are
added to flesh out the
texture harmonically in
various ways.
Occasionally Rheinberger
also adds motivic parts,
though never with the
same skill or density as
in the Goldberg
Variations. In this,
however, he demonstrates
a consummate sense of
style precisely by
adhering to the
compositional fabric of
his original models.
