The Performance of Beethoven’s “Diabelli Variations”. Continuity, Discontinuity, Cyclic Integration, Irony by William Kinderman

“…Beethoven’s transformations of Anton Diabelli’s waltz — which the composer described in a letter as a “SchusterFleck” (“cobbler’s patch”) — indulge in persiflage, irony, and parody, qualities that invite critical scrutiny. Beethoven was sometimes compared during his lifetime to Jean Paul, whose concept of humor as “the inverted sublime” and notion of a tensional duality of the Great and the Small applies well to Beethoven’s most paradoxical composition. …”
