Paganini Variations

Two sets of studies for piano in variation form by Johannes Brahms, Op. 35, composed in 1866, on a theme in A minor from from the 19th-century virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini's violin capricci (studies).

Two other well-known works – Sergei Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and Witold Lutosławski's Variations on a Theme of Paganini – use the same theme as Brahm's work and are frequently referred to as Paganini Variations.
