Anton Diabelli (1781-1858)
Anton Diabelli lived in Vienna at the same
time as Beethoven, Schubert and many other musicians as well as
the guitarist Giuliani. He was very active in musical life there
as a pianist, composer, and publisher. It was he who arranged
all three of Giuliani’s concertos for guitar and orchestra for
guitar and piano, something which he didn’t do slavishly but
with some musical interest. (All three of these arrangements by
Diabelli are published by
Tecla.) He provided Beethoven with the
theme of the work known as the Diabelli Variations op. 120. Some
of his piano pieces are still played today, especially some easy
ones for students.
