GIULIANI, MAURO

One example of this ability is to be found in his Variations on a theme of Handel, Op. 107. This popular theme, known as "The Harmonious Blacksmith", appears in the Aria from Handel's Suite no. 5 in E for harpsichord.Another example is Giuliani's Sei variazioni sull'aria "A Schisserl und a Reindl", op. 38, which is a set of variations on the Austrian Folkslied A Schisserl und a Reindl, is ll mein Kuchlg'schirr, used in the play Der Kaufmannsbude (1796), with music by Johann Baptist Henneberg (17681822) and text by Schikaneder; and in the play Der Marktschreyer (1799), with music by Franz Xaver Sssmayr (17661803) and text by Friedrich Karl Lippert[5]. (Beethoven used the same theme in his work op.105, number 3 for flute and piano.)
