Three stories--death, disaster, demineralisation--a typical mixture in our daily lives. In the musical world, theme and variation require the musician to choose a piece of music and write in and around it. Thus, for example, the well known Rachmaninov's Variations on a theme by Paganini. In the general practice would our themes start with an incident or happening--its the patients that bring about the variations. What interesting variations we see.
