Diabelli Variations

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Neal O'Doan

Diabelli Variations is a set of piano variations by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1823. The work transforms a brief waltz theme through a wide range of piano textures, contrapuntal writing, unexpected harmonic turns and sudden shifts of mood, and it was written in Beethoven's late period when he turned to concentrated variation form and expanded the possibilities of solo piano composition.
