Kochis variation analysis: II and V

 Variation V: The main idea tying this variation to the theme is the baseline, which is following along with the original baseline. There are also 4 measures which are nearly identical to the original theme, however the melody in the right hand has a rhythmic variation. At the beginning of the variation, there is an inversion, instead of starting from A to D, it goes from D to A. In the second section there are segments of the original melody mentioned with a different rhythmic value.
Variation II: This variation is difficult because of the way the hands are broken apart. the bass line is the same idea, however instead of the alberti bass in the original theme, the bass line is played in inverted pentascales. Again, there are one or two measure that are near identical to the original, with a slight variation of a quarter not added and repeated to fill the measure.
