Composed in 1790. The theme of this set of variations possesses an 'a-b-a' structure. Although marked Andante, the scalar melodic movement is delicately spun out through small note values. Given that the theme itself already employs very fine and light figures, the variations achieve further subdivision of note values by introducing ornamentation and transforming rhythms, such as dotted rhythms. Furthermore, in the second-to-last variation of this set, Haydn wrote a variation in the parallel minor of the theme (here, C minor). Apart from this work, the only other set of variations featuring a variation based on a mode change of the theme is the one in F minor. However, this does not apply to movements within sonata works that employ variation techniques.
