This research focuses on the analysis of Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, using the version revised by cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen. The study adopts a stylistic approach based on Jan LaRue’s analytical model. Through the examination of the parameters of Sound, Melody, and Form, the analysis explores how the composer achieves a synthesis between Classicism—particularly the galant style of the 18th century—and the emotional language of Romanticism. Originally conceived for cello and orchestra, the work not only reflects a nostalgic reimagining of the past, but also represents an expressive exploration of the solo instrument. This research proposes a critical and interpretative reading that considers the composer’s aesthetic context in order to define the character of each variation. In doing so, it highlights the stylistic richness of the piece and its enduring interpretative relevance today.
