Bottesini — Variazioni su 'La Straniera': Christian Ciaccio — PDF Sheet MusicThe Variations on 'La Straniera' by Giovanni Bottesini, composed in 1837 while he was a student at the Milan Conservatory, reflect the virtuosity and ambition of the young composer. First performed in 1838, the piece gained prominence in his early career but was later eclipsed by more popular works like the Variations on the Carnival of Venice.
