Also by Lugansky, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini https://youtu.be/QSxFYwlF7CQ

“The Rhapsody - actually, there is nothing rhapsodic about its tightly focused structure - comprises an introduction followed by 24 variations on the last of Niccolò Paganini’s 24 caprices for solo violin (a set of variations in itself). The theme was a favorite subject of 19th-century composers for large-scale variations works, among them Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms. But Rachmaninoff had his own, highly original thoughts on the subject, his grandest inspiration being the combining of the theme by the “devilish” violinist with the hellish medieval liturgical Dies irae theme, which is heard in the 7th, 10th, and 24th variations.”
