Excerpt:Beethoven. Variations Diabelli
Published in June 1823 and dedicated to Antonie Brentano, the 33 Variations op.120 were described by Diabelli himself as ‘a great and important masterpiece, worthy to be ranked with the imperishable creations of the old Classics [and to occupy] a place beside Sebastian Bach’s famous masterpieces of the same type’. And indeed, like the Kantor de Leipzig, Beethoven revolutionised the genre – but, paradoxically, by taking it into the unexpected regions of the bagatelle.
