Introduction and Theme with Variations (after Capriccio op.1 No. 24 for violin solo) 弦樂五重奏 導奏主題變奏曲隨想曲小提琴

毫無疑問，這首隨想曲的小提琴獨奏主題是帕格尼尼創作的最受歡迎、最令人印象深刻的作品之一。直到 20 世紀，它一直激勵著無數作曲家創作自己的變奏曲。這首曲子的創作理念可能是希望通過添加樂器或將其置於室內樂的框架內來賦予主題一個整體概念。顯然，大多數作曲家並不知道，帕格尼尼本人也有同樣的想法，並將其著名的主題變奏曲改編為小提琴主奏曲和絃樂隊。這個相對不為人知的版本至今只能通過手稿的摹本獲得，現在有了方便的版本。雖然它希望獲得應有的關注，但同時也邀請人們比較其他作曲家對相同主題的創作"

原文簡介:
Without a doubt, this Capriccio's theme for violin solo is one of the most popular and most impressive ones written by Paganini. Up until the 20th century, it inspired numerous composers to write their own variations. The underlying idea for this composition may have been the wish to give the theme an overall concept by adding instruments or putting it within the framework of chamber music. Obviously, most of those composers were not aware of the fact that Paganini himself had had the same idea and arranged his famous theme with variations for violin principale and string orchestra. This comparatively unknown version which so far had only been accessible as a facsimile of the manuscript is now available in a convenient edition. Though wanting to gain the well-deserved attention, it is also an invitation to compare what other composers did with the identical theme.
