  3. 33 Variations in C on a waltz by Diabelli Op 120 - Ludwig van Beethoven

The late works of composers, artists and writers can be intransigent and contradictory, sometimes valedictory, but often display an exceptional aesthetic mastery and distilled artistic focus.

Beethoven’s ‘Diabelli’ variations are a set of 33 variations for piano on a waltz by the music publisher and composer Anton Diabelli. Considered to be one of the greatest sets of variations for keyboard alongside Bach’s ‘Goldberg’ variations, it is a work of great wit, humour, ingenuity, allusion and parody combined with a vast range of textures, pulse, sonority and movement.

"a breathtaking interpretation of some of the last works of the great composers" (Seen and Heard International)

The audience will not exceed 150, to allow for comfortable distancing.

Please note that there is no interval in this performance.
