The Variations were published in 1824 as Op.121a, the last of Beethoven's piano trios to be published.Haydn's Piano Trio No. 39 in G major, Hob. XV/25 was written in 1795, during the final few weeks of Haydn's second trip to London, and one of a set of three (H. XV:24–26) dedicated to Rebecca Schroeter. It is perhaps his best-known piano trio and sometimes nicknamed the "Gypsy" or "Gypsy Rondo" trio because of its Rondo finale in 'Hungarian' style.Rosemary Hughes describes the first movement as "a curious but charming blend of double-variation and rondo, for the two minor sections are extremely free in their connection either with the major main theme or with each other. The alternation of variations in major and minor keys is characteristic of Haydn.The final movement incorporates a number of Gypsy tunes, including the Hungarian "recruiting dance" genre known as Verbunkos, and gypsy effects (such as strumming accompaniments and left-hand pizzicato). - Wikipedia
