Diabelli had made plans which were not only harmful to the work but humiliating as well to Beethoven.
The first was offered for publication to Steiner and, with other pieces, to Diabelli.
Artario & Co., Diabelli and Leidersdorf, were music publishers.
It was while in that city that his first composition, a variation on a waltz of Diabelli, appeared.
It was first published as late as 1837 by Diabelli along with the song, Turteltaube, du klagest, which was composed much later.
