拉赫曼尼諾夫-帕格尼尼主題狂想曲
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Sergei Rachmaninoff
背景音樂是第十八變奏曲----如歌的行板
18th variation Andante cantabile
The slow eighteenth variation is by far the most well-known, and it is often included on compilation CDs or records on its own, without the rest of the work.
Interestingly, this variation on first listening does not appear to contain the original theme. Rachmaninoff inverted the melody to obtain the theme for this variation.
This variation has been featured in several movies, including:
(1953) The Story of Three Loves
(1954) Rhapsody
(1980) Somewhere in Time
(1991) Dead Again
(1993) Groundhog Day
(1995) Sabrina
(1998) Ronin
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Russian: Рапсодия на тему Паганини, Rapsodiya na temu Paganini) is a piece of classical music for orchestra and solo piano by Sergei Rachmaninoff. According to the score, the work was written from July 3 to August 18, 1934. The piece is in the key of A minor and is Rachmaninoff' ;s opus 43.
The piece is a set of 24 variations on the twenty-fourth and last of Niccolò Paganini's Caprices for solo violin. Several other sets of variations on this theme have been written, including pieces by Johannes Brahms, Franz Liszt, Witold Lutosławski, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Paganini himself.
Although Rachmaninoff' ;s work is performed in one stretch with no breaks, it can be divided into three sections, corresponding to the three movements of a concerto: up to variation 11 corresponds to the first movement, variations 12 to 18 are the equivalent of a slow movement (with variations 14 and 15 as a sort of scherzo-interlude), and the remaining variations make a finale. Unusually, the first variation comes before the theme.
The piece is one of several by Rachmaninoff to quote the Dies Irae plainchant melody
