A performance of Liszt's transcription of the seventh symphony for piano may be useful to hear, in addition. Although Beethoven was not one to borrow frequently from the work of other composers, his most well-known series of variations, the Diabelli Variations, is based on an original waltz by Anton Diabelli.

This blog is intended as a space within which I will share my findings related to classical music appropriation. Many composers in the past have quoted, borrowed, and recycled the themes and melodies of others. Having already noted many such instances, I hope to include the more interesting, and convincing, examples herein.
