The Thirty-three Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120,
represent Beethoven's most extraordinary achievement in the art of
variation-writing. In their originality and power of invention,
they stand beside other late Beethoven masterpieces such as the
Ninth Symphony, the Missa Solemnis, and the last quartets. William
Kinderman's study of the compositional history of the work includes
the first extended investigation and reconstruction of the sketches
and drafts, and reveals, contrary to earlier views of its
chronology, that it was actually begun in 1819, then put aside, and
completed in 1822-3. Kinderman also provides an analytical
discussion of the complete work, and he demonstrates how insights
derived from a close study of the sketches can illuminate
Beethoven's compositional ideas and attitudes and contribute
substantially to a better understanding of this massive and complex
set of variations.
The book includes complete transcriptions of the two central
documents in the genesis of the Diabelli variations - the
reconstructed Wittgenstein Sketchbook and the Paris - Landsberg -
Montauban Draft.
