The short and sparse melodic theme, as well as the emphasis on the bass line, reflect a possible influence of the chaconne [citation needed] and the Folia. [1] The variations have been called "Beethoven’s most overt pianistic homage to the Baroque." [2] The variations differ in character, technical difficulty and dynamics.

Seyfried arranged two of Beethoven's three equals (nos. 1 & 3) for four-part male voice chorus, setting the words of verses 1 and 3 of Psalm 51, Miserere mei, Domine and Amplius.
