Der fröhliche Landmann also becomes a jazz pianist and improvises with Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Petersen in a blues sound before he indulges, in a Grand finale, in the brilliant virtuosity of the 19th century together with Tchaikovsky, Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Apart from performing the entire work, individual variations can be arranged in small cycles according to preferences in style, e.g. for \"Jugend musiziert\", or counter-posed against the original work.
