Written by
Sergei Rachmaninoff
(1873-1943) in 1934, this
set of variations for
piano solo and orchestra
on Niccolò Paganini's
Caprice No. 24 for solo
violin is much like a
concerto, though it
consists of a single
movement with an
introduction of the theme
and twenty-four
variations. The most
well-known of the
variations is the lyrical
18th, and it has been
used in numerous movies
over the years. In
addition to Paganini's
theme as the thematic
foundation, the Dies irae
theme found in the
requiem mass and which
features so prominently
in Berlioz' Symphonie
Fantastique is also
featured at times. The
work premiered with
immediate success on
November 7th, 1934 by the
Philadelphia Orchestra
under Leopold Stokowski,
with Rachmaninoff himself
as soloist.
