| 1 | * The ''Diabelli Variations'' are the comic high point in Beethoven's music, with spell-binding fugues and brilliant variations interspersed with hilarious parodies of bad music and the finger exercises of Johann Baptist Cramer. |
| 2 | * The "Turkish march" section of the Ninth Symphony is a rare bit of comic relief in an otherwise quite serious work. It comes directly on the heels of a big, climactic held chord in the chorus, quiet and almost grotesque in feel -- an excellent example of what some writers have called romantic irony. |
