 Los Angeles Philharmonic Association - Piece Detail
So, when Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) undertook a project that he hoped would bolster his music publishing business the inclusion of Beethoven was a given.
It was Diabelli's plan to solicit from the 50 greatest composers of the Austrian empire a variation from each on a single theme from his own pen, the variations to then be collected and published.
So the jaunty initial statement of the Diabelli waltz is followed by a stentorian March in the first variation and a subsequent group of cheerful manipulations of the theme or components of the theme.

 BBC - Radio 3 - Beethoven Experience - works
Early in 1819 the composer and music publisher Anton Diabelli wrote to fifty of the most prominent musicians in Austria, enclosing a simple waltz-tune he had written, and asking each of them to contribute a variation on it, as a contribution to what he called a "National Artists' Society".
Legend has it that Beethoven at first refused to have anything to do with what he described as a piece of "cobbler's patch", and that it wasn't for a further four years that he turned his attention to his own contribution: not just a single variation, but a vast self-contained set of thirty-three.
It's true that Beethoven was disparaging about Diabelli's tune, but he actually set to work on his variations almost as soon as he received it, sketching out two-thirds of them before laying the project aside in order to concentrate on his Missa solemnis.
