Diabelli Variations

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Shai Wosner

Diabelli Variations is a set of thirty-three variations for solo piano by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1819 and 1823 and published in 1823. The work exemplifies Beethoven's late style, transforming a simple waltz theme through a wide range of textures, harmonic innovation and virtuosic pianism, and occupies a central place in his late-period contributions to the piano and to the variation form.
