Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Op.43 by Sergei Rachmaninoff
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43, is Sergei Rachmaninoff's single-movement concertante work for piano and orchestra. It unfolds as 24 variations on the theme of Paganini's Caprice No. 24, turning a compact violin idea into a large-scale piano-and-orchestra conversation. Rachmaninoff composed the work in Switzerland during the summer of 1934. Its premiere took place in Baltimore on 7 November 1934, with Rachmaninoff as soloist, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Leopold Stokowski conducting. The selected MuseScore source is a Variation 18 arrangement for solo piano. That is a useful entry point into the rhapsody's most familiar melodic transformation, but it should not be described as the complete piano-and-orchestra work.
