"33 Variations" of Beethoven is one sub-plot of this same-titled musical play. The other focuses on the relationship between a musicologist mother and her daughter.
The composer and the mother represent "artistic obsession" against the daughter's "pragmatism of everyday life." She "excels at changing careers,...your own daughter you can't see."
Values and attitudes of parents, let alone their professions are not necessarily inherited by their children. Inquirer columnist of "All in the Family" Queena Lee-Chua knows this too well.
