Abstract

The phenomenon of "Varied repeats" (Veränderte Reprise) is known and unknown, both by musicologists and professional musicians. Many know about its existence, but don't understand what it means nor the logic behind it. Often professionals assume that it refers to ornamentations or improvisations to be added during the repeats; however, this is not consistent with C. Ph. E. Bach's varied repeats. The following article is based on my dissertation, The phenomenon of varied repeats by C. Ph. E. 
Bach and its uniqueness, 2014, which I wrote under the supervision of Prof. D. Cohen and Prof. N. Wagner. In this article, I will clarify the definition of the phenomenon and its scope, mention some typical ways of varying, briefly discuss the relation between the varied repeats and the movements' structure, and conclude with the meanings of these findings.
