The "Other" Diabelli Variations
Update: 2025-07-23
Description
In 2006 & 2007, Franz Hummel (1939-2022) composed his own set of 33 variations on a waltz by Diabelli, the very same waltz on which Beethoven based his iconic Diabelli Variations Op. 120. Is it a masterpiece or a curiosity? Jed Distler fills you in on this episode.
