Beethoven was also asked and although he at first refused, he did finally deliver a cycle of 33 variations as his own contribution to this strange competition. His set was published separately in 1823. The 50 variations by the other composers appeared a year later, under the collective title of ‘National Society of Artists, Part 2’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom these, Jörg Demus chooses 32, basing his decisions both on the quality of the pieces themselves and the playing-time of an LP, on which the recording first appeared. Played on various fortepianos of the time, this marks this unique recording’s first release on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003eVariations on a Waltz by Diabelli\u003cbr\u003eAssmayer · Bocklet · Czapek · Czerny · Dreschler · Freystaedtler · Gänsbacher · Gelinek · Halm · Hoffmann · Horzalka · Huglmann · Hummel · Kalkbrenner · Kerzkowsky · Kreutzer · Lannoy · Leidesdorf · Liszt · Moscheles · W.A.
