 VIP Records: Beethoven Variations by Schnabel
Anton Diabelli, a music publisher, wrote a simple waltz melody and was brazen enough to ask the leading composers of the day, including Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt, to write a single variation apiece.
Using a musical theme from the Creatures of Prometheus ballet, which was later used in his third symphony, Beethoven created a virtuoso showpiece for piano.
But he finally agreed to compose not just a single variation, but a complete set of variations.

It is perhaps the funniest piece of music ever written, demolishing Diabelli with glorious exaggeration.
In 1819 Anton Diabelli, a publisher and music teacher, sent out a little waltz tune to every composer and virtuoso he thought worthy, inviting them to write one variation which would be published in his Vaterlaendischer Kuenstlerverein ("patriotic culture club").
Then he took it out again, and in 1822 and 1823 put together the "33 variations on a waltz by Diabelli" that is one of the great masterpieces of the piano repertoire.

 BBC - Radio 3 - Beethoven Experience - works
Early in 1819 the composer and music publisher Anton Diabelli wrote to fifty of the most prominent musicians in Austria, enclosing a simple waltz-tune he had written, and asking each of them to contribute a variation on it, as a contribution to what he called a "National Artists' Society".
Legend has it that Beethoven at first refused to have anything to do with what he described as a piece of "cobbler's patch", and that it wasn't for a further four years that he turned his attention to his own contribution: not just a single variation, but a vast self-contained set of thirty-three.
The interpolations were largely of two types: variations which reflected Beethoven's recently awakened interest in Baroque counterpoint, and parodies seemingly designed to increase the work's overall element of humour.
