6 National Airs with Variations, Op.105 The National Airs with variations, Opp. 105 and 107, are among the last compositions Beethoven pursued for the Scottish publisher George Thomson. Scored for piano and violin or flute, they are generally easier than the rest of his sets of variations. Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. The crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential composers of all time. Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven moved to Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing began to deteriorate in the late 1790s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf.
