Hi there. At the moment I am working on writing the program notes for a diploma examination I am undertaking. The origins of one of the works, the Rossini Introduction, Theme and Variations, seem to be clouded in obscurity. I have found out that the Theme is based on a theme from La Donna del Lago by Rossini, and the Introduction is based on a theme from ‘La pace mia smarrita’ from Mose in Egitto, also by Rossini, but I cannot find out whether Rossini himself actually wrote this piece, or whether it was a virtuoso transcription by a clarinettist of the time. Would anyone have any information about this? Thanks.
