Brahms wrote two sets of Variations in the Key of D major which he published in 1861, as opus 21. In his study of Brahms, William Murdoch points out that ' these two sets are rarely performed in public-rather are they looked upon as preparatory studies for the wonderful sets that were to come later, which were finally to stamp Brahms as the greatest master of variation form since Beethoven, and place him on the same level as Bach and Beethoven in wealth of ideas and individuality of conception. We also find in these two sets the beginning of a new technique-the big skips, the cross rhythms, the interweaving of parts, and the constant use of split octaves.'
