Composed in Vienna in 1781. The theme of this set of variations, though not originally conceived for keyboard instruments, is arguably perfectly reflected in the texture. Technically, the rhythm is varied extensively within the alla breve meter. However, often within a single variation, rhythmic ingenuity is achieved through combinations of different note values. Furthermore, characteristic features include sustained notes with trills, broken octaves, and hand crossing.
