Ludwig van Beethoven: 32 Variations in C-minor (WoO 80)

(WIKI)
Written in 1806. The work consists of an eight-bar main theme and 32 variations. A chord progression in the left hand, based upon a descending chromatic bass, serves as an important structural device. The short and sparse melodic theme, as well as the emphasis on the bass line, reflect a possible influence of the chaconne and the Folia. The variations have been called "Beethoven’s most overt pianistic homage to the Baroque." The variations differ in character, technical difficulty and dynamics. The piece proved popular, receiving a favorable review in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (Leipzig) in 1807, and remains popular today. Nevertheless, Beethoven did not see fit to assign it an opus number. It is said that later in his life he heard a friend practicing it. After listening for some time he said "Whose is that?" "Yours", was the answer. "Mine? That piece of folly mine?" was his retort; "Oh, Beethoven, what an ass you were in those days!

Listen to my 32-Variations, more varied, pianistic, dramatic, climactic, and much more difficult than Beethoven’s which appeared written with less vigor than some Clementi works, and many variations exactly the same passages just the hands are doubled - Czerny would have classified those single/same variations. My style engulfs +/- 100-more years than Beethoven explored.
