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 ]
The Violin Concerto No. 5 in A minor was composed by Niccolò Paganini in 1830. It is one of the most widely performed of Paganini's last four violin concertos. A typical performance lasts about 40 minutes. It is in fact the last concerto of Paganini (the concerto #6 was partly written in 1815.) The concerto is in three movements:
The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin were written in groups (seven, five and twelve) by Niccolò Paganini between 1802 and 1817. They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti's and Anna Sorrento's Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini which was published in 1982.
The outcome is a very transparent texture, with the rondo theme having hints of musical qualities associated with Romani music. This movement has served as the basis of compositions by other composers, such as the Étude S. 140 No. 3 "La campanella" by Liszt, and Strauss I's Walzer à la Paganini Op. 11.
Although the role of the violin in music drastically changed through this period, progress in violin technique was steady but slow. Much of Paganini's playing (and his violin composition) was influenced by two violinists, Pietro Locatelli (1693–1746) and August Duranowski (Auguste Frédéric Durand) (1770–1834).
The Variations retain most of Paganini's original material for solo violin. [1] As Paganini's original composition, it is structured as a theme with variations, presenting the theme, a total of twelve variations, and a final coda. The additional twelfth variation before the coda is Lutosławski's only structural alteration in the piece.
