N2 - Ludwig Rellstab’s review, dated November 5, 1830, of Chopin’s then recently published variations for piano and orchestra on “Là ci darem la mano,” is derogatory, derisive, and downright racist; nevertheless, it voices a seemingly reasonable complaint: “Why does he add to the theme an upbeat, which Mozart did not write? This small figure discloses the extremely poor feeling of the composer for melodic construction, for beauty in rhythm. The superfluous upbeat adheres to the lovely, regularly constructed theme as clumsily as a fifth wheel, a fifth foot, or a hump on the chest.”
