Beethoven composed this set of 32 Variations on an original theme 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 variations have been called 'Beethoven’s most overt pianistic homage to the Baroque.'" (Wikipedia.org)
