Reference Sites For Diabelli Variations

[NJOperaman]

Hello all,

I'm doing research for a paper comparing Bach's Goldberg Variations to The Diabelli Variations, but I've found that there is a lack of sites dealing with the history and analysis of the Diabelli Variations. Do any of you have any sites or books you could recommend?

Thanks,

I haven't read them but these two books have detailed chapters on the Diabelli variations that may be useful:

I think he meant a musical analysis, not some track detail from a cd . Since I'm writing this here, please, stop posting links to other sites other than asked for, it's quite annoying and leads nowhere. It's also spam.
