In music, a form based on constant repetition
of a simple theme, each new version being
elaborated or treated in a different manner.
The theme is easily recognizable, either as a
popular tune or - as a gesture of respect -
as the work of a fellow composer, for
example, Brahms honours Bach in the
Variations on the St Antony Chorale.
