 Classical 103.5 WGMS
Though it may tell us as much about Beethoven as it does about Diabelli, the Great Composer used to routinely refer to him in correspondence as "Generalprofoss und diabolus Diabelli." Apparently this was funny to Beethoven because it was so true.
The idea that indirectly won immortality for Diabelli was to ask several composers in the Hapsburg empire to write a single variation on one of his own waltz themes, a silly noodle really, then publish the collection.
Diabelli rushed it into print under the title "Beethoven’s Last Musical Thought." It certainly was not, nor was it even for string quartet.

 BEETHOVEN Diabelli Variations. Anderszweski (Virgin) - INKPOT
One particular irritant was publisher Antonio Diabelli, whose "botched piece of cobbling," as Beethoven called the waltz in "Danube peasant" style that Diabelli sent in 1819, aroused Beethoven's ire to extremes.
The man may have been highly bothered by Diabelli and that silly little waltz, but he was going to have some fun while showing that man how to really compose.
Anderszewski is in on the joke-that Beethoven was, in effect, thumbing his nose at Diabelli continually while producing a masterpiece as only Beethoven could-and he lets us in on it as well, but with a sly wink from an otherwise nonchalant demeanor, which only adds to our amusement.

The durability of Beethoven's immense response (1823) to publisher Antonio Diabelli's request (1819) for a variant on his trite waltz tune continues to astonish the keyboard world, since this "cobbler's patchwork" unleashed in Beethoven a virtual storm of creative imagination, a union of musical extremes.
The six offerings from other composers whom Diabelli approached for variants play as a fashionable addendum to the Beethoven opus.
The Czerny variant at several points likens Diabelli to an ecossaise.

 BEETHOVEN Diabelli Variations Anderszewski [CF]: Classical Reviews- July 2001 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In 1819 Antonio Diabelli jotted down a theme (a little waltz in Danube rustic style) which he sent to his composer friends and acquaintances, among them Schubert, Kalkbrenner, Czerny, Hummel, the eight year-old Liszt, and Beethoven.
The irascible Beethoven, whose own pupil and patron Archduke Rudolf had coincidentally just produced a set of forty variations on a song Beethoven had himself published, and then submitted to his teacher, was not to be outdone by this flurry of activity.
But what he did was to produce, over four years (during which time the Ninth symphony was also taking shape) a set of thirty-three variations which almost contemptuously ignore the theme whilst retaining Diabelli's harmonic structure.

 Melvin Chen: Diabelli Variations
33 Variations on a Waltz by Anton Diabelli
But Beethoven’s initial scorn somehow turned into creative frenzy, and he eventually ignored Diabelli’s request for a single variation, producing 33—nearly an hour’s worth of music.
Critic and annotator Keith Powers writes of “Melvin Chen’s adventurous reading of the Diabelli Variations (which) bears the mark of the great composer himself—fearless, eager for the extremes available in the score, yet rigorously true to the original.”
