as practiced by Beethoven and near contemporaries
Anton Diabelli, who doubled as both composer and music publisher, submitted his Theme to some fifty different composers (including Franz Schubert and the 11-years old Franz Liszt), asking each to submit a single variation. The whole was intended for publication in order to raise money for a worthy charitable cause. Beethoven responded to the request with 33 Variations, and the publisher decided to publish that work as a single volume. It may well be that Beethoven felt challenged by the simple logic of Diabelli's unpretentious theme. In any event, two features of the theme stand out: the repeated tones of the opening measures, and the tight sequence structure of the inner portions of the composition. Emphasizing one or the other of these features - sometimes both - Beethoven leaves us with an endless variety of musical ideas and developments in his 33 Variations that remain - along with Bach's Goldberg Variations - one of the great monuments of Variation Literature.
