@Glossary@1
@Variation:@2
A "variation" is the repetition of a theme or melody with changes in any of its elements: rhythm, tempo, harmony, texture, melody, key, etc.
In most variations, the original melody can be easily discerned.
Listen to the variations on the first theme in the second movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
