Very interesing and vast introduction .... Cannot recognize the theme. It sounds italian, that's no doubt, but couldn't associate to a song, a standard, whatever known to me. Couldn't it be an original theme imitating italian style? İn which case, Kudos to Méreaux to have recreated italian sound perfectly. Variations are very attractive and exhibiting sobriety and crystalline classical language. Beautiful!!!

True, when méreaux uses someone else's melody he usually says in the title or something like that. I couldn't find it in the score, perhaps he did compose it himself. Still I think its likely he forgot to mention the composer or its the editor's fault

Great pianism on display here! My only qualm so far about Méreaux's non-étude works are that they seem to ramble a bit. I think in places he could have been more concise and direct. But that's just my impression as an amateur :D.

Thank you! :)) I think I know what you mean... but I'm curious more about how you mean with "rambling and diffuse", such as in what certain parts? Personally I (kinda) like the lengthy, over the top, intros... How it uses fragments of the theme to build up TO the theme and so on. But I can also get how it can feel a bit disconnected for the listener where it sounds more like different piece after piece.

The rambling is inherent to the notion of theme and variations. Even the Goldberg Variations don't sound as a whole. That's not the problem with Méreaux. What makes that he is now largely forgotten is the impersonal nature of his works. There were scores of composers that all wrote in exactly the same style, f.i. Herz, Kalkbrenner, Thalberg...it shows also the level of pianistic technique of amateurs in that era.

@@christianwouters6764 indeed, the postclassical "variations"-style is typically not the best display for a composer for personal sound but as you said, it shows the level amature pianists had back in the days. However I think Thalberg was a bit more adventurous than Kalkbrenner and Herz. I also have to recommend Herz's piano concertos if you can get your hands on them.
