Personally, I find Theme and Variations to be incredibly boring to play AND listen to, unless at least one of three conditions is present:

1) The variations are formally interesting (i.e. the mode gets changed, or the meter become irregular, etc., things beyond the typical "cornet solo")
2) The variations are humorous
3) The player is simply phenomenal

Otherwise, they can take a flying leap.
