| | XL Cover Story: Classical sampling as theme and variation |
| | The "rhapsody" of the title refers not to the piece's expressive passion, but rather the freeness of his improvisations on Paganini's now-familiar theme. | | | Though the theme is all but drilled into the listener's skull, it remains so flexible, so nimble, that it seems to have a spirit of its own, shape-shifting in the violinist's supple hands. | | | In a wink to the instrument played by the theme's creator, the theme is given first to the violin section, with piano playing just the outline, or selection of the same notes. |

| | While cellos and bassoons play a paraphrase of the Paganini melody, the piano presents the an ancient plainsong melody. | | | The title “Rhapsody,” which implies a kind of spontaneous and loosely structured composition, is a misnomer that fails to credit the carefully planned architecture of this music. | | | Great love is one of the enduring and most compelling themes in world literature, and it has inspired a number of musical compositions also. |

| | Paganini was said to be a wicked man who was beheaded by guillotine, Call said, and his walk to be beheaded could be heard in the song. | | | In order to describe Paganini’s conflict to decide between his love, played by dancer Sarah Mortimer, and an amazing ability to play the violin, (of which he chose the violin), CDT II dancers had Paganini go to Hell by having Barlow fall through a trap door in the stage. | | | Nicolo Paganini was a violin virtuoso who lived over 200 years ago. |

| | Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43 |
| | Niccolo Paganini’s 24 Caprices for solo violin marked the high point of instrumental virtuosity in the 19th century, and have had an inspiring influence on composers ever since. | | | It brought him instant success – largely, perhaps, because the 18th variation of the Rhapsody gave his audience the great melody they’d been waiting for – but the Rhapsody as a whole was swiftly recognised as one of the most brilliantly written and perfectly structured piano concertos of the century. | | | The first section runs from the 18-bar introduction, the 1st Variation (which, unusually, precedes the theme!), and the theme itself (given by unison violins) through the first appearance of the Dies Irae in Variation 7, to the end of the 10th Variation. |

| | Later Paganini would astonish audiences by snipping his violin strings until all that was left was the G string, upon which he would miraculously conclude the piece he was playing. | | | (Paganini for some time had a relationship with a mysterious Tuscan woman who was an adept guitarist.) I recommend both DG #437837, with violinist Gil Shaham and guitarist Goran Sollscher, and Sony #34508, with Itzhak Perlman, violin and John Williams, guitar. | | | The chances are good that you first heard Niccolò Paganini's music clothed in the music of another composer, most likely Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. |

| | From the reprise of the fanfares, both themes recapitulate, but in the second the listener can hear the canonic counterpoint which Glazunov mentioned. | | | With echoes of the first theme, the overture gathers new energy for a bright, tight coda (by Glazunov) that caps the movement perfectly. | | | Opening ceremoniously with a dark, brooding introduction, the music soon awakens with the famous fanfares, which lead to the precipitous first theme, first introduced first in the strings and then passed to the woodwinds. |

| | It was the orchestra with which he had recorded his first three piano concertos and the Paganini Rhapsody (with the Fourth Concerto to follow in December 1941), and it was the only orchestra he ever conducted on records. | | | The Paganini Rhapsody, which Rachmaninoff also introduced with Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, was received with delight, but the Third Symphony, which came along two years later in another Stokowski-Philadelphia premiere, was at best a succès d’estime. | | | Moreover, his most recent compositions, the Fourth Piano Concerto, which he presented with Stokowski in Philadelphia in 1927, and the Variations on a Theme by Corelli, which he first played at a recital in Montreal in 1931, were failures with the public. |

| | composed in 1934, was inspired by the theme used by Paganini as the basis for a set of solo violin variations forming the last of Paganini’s 24 Caprices. | | | Without doubt, the variations that make up the Rhapsody include episodes of lyrical tenderness that form the romantic middle section followed by the overwhelming devilishness of the last six of the 24 variations. | | | The reflective mood gives way to a good-humoured, brilliant finale where the piano and orchestra almost seem to compete in a headlong rush to a closely contested finish. |

| | Sergei Rachmaninoff composed most of his late orchestral music for the Philadelphians, which he called “the greatest orchestra in the world.” Leopold Stokowski premiered the composer’s beloved Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in 1934 (with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist) and it became an instant classic. | | | Sergei Rachmaninoff was the soloist in the world premiere performance of the Paganini Rhapsody with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Leopold Stokowski, on November 7, 1934 in Baltimore. | | | It is a set of 24 variations on a well-known theme, Nicolò Paganini’s 24th Caprice for solo violin—a dynamic and concise melody that has inspired a number of composers to write variations, including Liszt, Brahms, Boris Blacher, Witold Lutosławski, George Rochberg, and even Paganini himself. |
