Another single movement piece is the Kongsgaard Variations by Anders Hillborg. As the title already suggests, tradition and models of the past are very much a part of this piece, and references to Beethoven through further entertaining but rather convoluted anecdote infuse this work with plenty of tonal refreshment.

The piece is 'Adagio molto' in its basic physical presence, but there is no lingering or time wasting. Variations of material both simple and complex in both musical content and instrumental colour move across the listener's consciousness in a kaleidoscope of ideas and references. Erik Wallrup describes this in his booklet notes as a 'philosophical contemplation of pleasure', which sums up this gorgeous and, towards its conclusion very moving music very well indeed.

Anders Hillborgs Kongsgaard variations från 2006 är det vackraste jag hört i genren på länge. Här kan man skönja både Schubert, psalmen Närmare gud till dig och svensk folkmusik bakom en svävande, lugn yta.

Anders Hillborg drar ur korken med ett pizzicato och häller ner anspelningar på såväl Ariettavin som Beethovens sista pianosonat i sina Kongsgaardvariationer.
