Jonah Kim Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations

Var. VI: Andante Var. VII e Coda: Allegro vivo (starts 3:00) The sixth variation is a melancholy restatement of the theme in D minor. After a brief pause, the soloist launches into the most difficult variation, an Allegro vivo which rarely relents its constant 32nd notes. The orchestra, too, has a difficult time keeping up with the blazing speed of the finale, the solo flute being one example.
