The Diabelli Variation by Schubert Schubert wrote one variation on the well known Waltz by Diabelli, which Beethoven based his 33 Diabelli Variations on. Diabelli was known not only as a composer but also as a publisher. In 1819 he decided to publish a volume of variations made by several composers on a Waltz of his own. Fifty composers responded with pieces for this publication. The idea was to make one each. However, Beethoven came with 33 and his were published in a volume of their own as 33 Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli. This variation, the Wanderer Fantasy and several other pieces by Schubert have now been added to the piano sheet music library. |

| “Play Me, I’m Yours” - Street Pianos Artist Luke Jerram has put together street pianos installations in various cities.

Any musician would have been stopped immediately by security outside the City of London and Sing London festival. |
