In 1595 Mademoiselle de Gournay published a new edition of Montaigne's Essays, and the first with the latest emendations of the author, from a copy presented to her by his widow, and which has not been recovered, although it is known to have been in existence some years after the date of the impression, made on its authority.
The Variations on a Rococo Theme,[a] Op. 33, is a concertante work for cello and orchestra by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is the closest he ever came to writing a full concerto for cello and orchestra. The style was inspired by Mozart, Tchaikovsky's role model, and makes it clear that Tchaikovsky admired the Classical style very much. However, the Theme is not Rococo in origin, but actually an original theme in the Rococo style.
柴可夫斯基為德國大提琴家、莫斯科音樂學院的同事威廉·菲岑哈根創作了這首作品，並得到了他的幫助。 1877年11月30日，菲岑哈根在莫斯科首演了這首作品，由尼古拉·魯賓斯坦指揮。這或許是柴可夫斯基創作這首變奏曲的唯一一次演出，直到 1941 年，它才在莫斯科再次演奏，而沒有採用菲岑哈根當時的標準修改版本。
Tchaikovsky wrote this piece for and with the help of Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, a German cellist and fellow-professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Fitzenhagen gave the premiere in Moscow on November 30, 1877, with Nikolai Rubinstein conducting. This was perhaps the only hearing of the Variations as Tchaikovsky wrote the piece, until 1941, when it was played in Moscow without Fitzenhagen's by-then-standard emendations.
