- Nota:
- In the preface to the score of the Handel variations, his last composition whose theme is derived from Handel's fifth keyboard Suite in E major 'The Harmonious Blacksmith' (HWV 430), Markevitch states: "I wanted with this work, to pay homage to a great tradition which it seems to me has become unjustly discredited: that of the piano treated in itself as an heroic instrument."
