This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Diabelli Machines is a series of performances, lectures, articles, or installations that operate different forms of problematisation of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, op. 120. Every single instantiation of this research project questions the original work, disclosing its ruptures, and reconfiguring it in a different regime of perception and signification. Beyond historiographical, philological, organological, or sociological investigations, this project aims at creatively, yet rigorously, engaging with the historically available materials related to Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations and its compossible futures.
