Composed in Vienna in 1783. The theme of this piece consists of a right hand characterized by double stops in 3rds and 6ths, and a left hand characterized by sustained notes (pedal points) created by repeated single notes. Furthermore, in the variations, sustained notes (pedal points) created by trills and cadenza-like interpolated passages are frequently employed. Although the piece is not of an exceptionally great length, the range of notes and techniques employed can be said to be considerably broadened compared to previous variations.
