Current Progress: 1/5
Some friends and I attended 33 Variations performed by the Reston Community Players on the 4th of May. It is essentially two stories: one is Beethoven's obsession with finishing his 33 variations of Diabelli's waltz, and the other is a modern-day woman obsessed with finding out what made Beethoven so obsessed, while she deals with rapidly worsening Lou Gehrig's Disease. Center stage at all times is a concert pianist, playing excerpts from the variations now and again. My favorite part was when Beethoven was composing vocally while the pianist reflected his commands with her playing.
