Tilman Hoppstock, alias Allan Willcocks composed in the style of English Impressionism. Des pas sur la neige - Variations hardly play a role in Impressionism (no such work is handed down by Debussy and Ravel). Debussy's Prelude Des Pas sur la Neige (Steps in the Snow), however, with its simple secondary theme-like theme head and a very high recognition value, is ideally suited as a basis for variation. The final fugato combines the stricter contrapuntal form with free, imaginative passages until the subject returns in the finale - once again harmonized. With fingerings and detailed preface in English and German.
