Capsule Summary

All of the Mozart variation sets on this disc are taken from Ingrid Haebler’s 1975 Philips recording. This marks the first instance within the Hatto catalogue of an analog-era source being used. All previously discovered sources were digital recordings. Minor tempo manipulation was applied throughout, but Track 2 has been subjected to different amounts of manipulation in different sections of the piece (exact details to be worked out later).

Thanks to Bobby Snow for identifying the Haebler source.
