A remarkable early tribute to Beethoven by the greatest of his musical contemporaries. Schubert was one of the pall-bearers at Beethoven's funeral, but other documented connections between the two composers are scarce. Schubert rarely composed variations on foreign themes, but the theme of his Op. 10 variations was composed by Hortense, Queen of Holland and Napoleon's sister-in-law. The set originated at the Esterhazy estate in Szelis (now Slovakia), where he stayed in the summer of 1818 as a music teacher.
