The story of the origins of the Variations op. 21 is typical on the whole for the evolution of a composition by Brahms from inception to printing status. Brahms wrote the pieces in 1853/54 ( Variations on a Hungarian Song ) and 1857 ( Variations on an Original Theme ). Then he sought the advice of his friend Joseph Joachim, who suggested that Brahms put the Hungarian Variations aside "for a while." It was not until July 1861 - and perhaps after comprehensive revisions - that Brahms sent both variation cycles to his publisher Simrock.
