This work was composed by Handoshkin, a representative Classical composer in Russia who was active as a pianist, violinist, and conductor, for 'A Handbook for Music Lovers', published in St. Petersburg in 1795. Reflecting his primary training as a violinist, the theme is followed by five variations that evoke the timbre of the violin. In this set of variations, an Allegretto tempo is consistently indicated. As the variations progress, the work is structured by subdividing note values and expanding the range of the theme.
