Variations on a theme from the ballet of Salvatore Viganò Il noce di Benevento , music by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. First performed at a solo concert in La Scala on October 29, 1813. The audience was so impressed that they requested a repeat. [4]
By 1800, Paganini and his father traveled to Livorno, where Paganini played in concerts and his father resumed his maritime work. In 1801, the 18-year-old Paganini was appointed first violin of the Republic of Lucca , but a substantial portion of his income came from freelancing.
Since Paganini, many variations on the theme have been written, most notably those by Jean-Baptiste Arban, Del Staigers, Herbert L. Clarke for the cornet, trumpet, and euphonium, Francisco Tárrega and Johann Kaspar Mertz for classical guitar, Ignace Gibsone and Louis Moreau Gottschalk for piano, and Giovanni Bottesini for double bass.
