B's variations on a theme of Salieri's. One of the best of his "stand-alone" piano variations - witty and beautiful - and based on a fairly tuneless melody. Beethoven seemed to prefer neutral tunes for his variations - in fact, he wrote many skeletal melodies himself for that purpose.
There are a number of versions on YouTube:

Beethoven, Adagio, Sonata No 3 in C Major.
God, the adagio of this sonata is so hauntingly beautiful! I'm listening to it by candlelight and its blowing a gale and raining outside, ah what atmosphere...

I've had two feasts tonight; one gastronomic, the other musical. The one that counts:
Haydn string quartets Op. 9 and Op. 77 ("Lobkowitz");
Beethoven string quartets N° 1 (Op. 18) and N° 10 (Op. 74, the "Harp").
The two great masters of the genre.
And my final listening: Beethoven piano sonata N° 26 (Les Adieux).
