Paganini - Balleto Campestre - Variations on a comic theme for violin and orchestra
Description on Youtube:
The Balletto Càmpestre Variations starts off with a grand theme that sounds like music straight out of Paganini's concertos. Suddenly the theme collapses and lapses into a whimsical tune that is subjected to the variations treatment lasting an astonishing 27 minutes, but it is fascinating to hear Paganini twist the theme in ingenious ways and exploit every technical trick the violin is capable of at the same time. In the 27 variations you will find the most amazing display of flying staccatos and doublestops.
