	Paganini Variations
		This is undoubtedly the most well-known set of Paganini variations to today's audiences, especially the 18th variation, which was once made into a popular song.
		The most popular set of variations on this same Paganini tune, before Rachmaninov came out with his, was probably the Grande Etude de Paganini No. 6 in A Minor, the last piece from the set of six for piano by Franz Liszt, published in 1851.
		This eventually became the 35-minute-long Variations on Paganini's 24th Caprice that wound up with Julian as soloist accompanied by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Lorin Maazel on a Philips CD (420 342-2).

	Niccolò Paganini - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Niccolò Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy on 27 October, 1782, to Antonio and Teresa (née Bocciardo) Paganini.
		Paganini developed the set of concert variations for solo violin, characteristically taking a simple, apparently naïve theme, and alternating lyrical variations with a ruminative, improvisatory character that depended for effect on the warmth of his phrasing, with bravura extravagances that left his audiences gasping.
		Though Paganini's composition was not considered truly polyphonic (Eugène Ysaÿe once criticised, that the solo/instrumental accompaniment to Paganini's music was too "guitar like", lacking any character of polyphonism), he expanded the timbre and colour of the instrument to levels previously unknown.

	Witold Lutosławski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their repertoire consisted of a wide range of music in their own arrangements, including the first incarnation of Lutosławski's Paganini Variations, a highly original transformation of the original 24th Caprice for solo violin by Niccolò Paganini.
		Lutosławski left Warsaw with his mother just before the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, salvaging only a few scores and sketches —the rest of his music was lost during the destruction of the city, as were the family's Drozdowo estates.
		This work, together with the Five songs of 1956–57, saw the significant development of Lutosławski's harmonic and contrapuntal thinking by introducing the twelve-note system that he had developed.

	Brahms MP3 Variations: Theme by Paganini
		The centre piece of this selection of his work are the Variations on a theme by Paganini which demonstrates remarkable creativity and a surprising sense of fun.
		Here we are offering a fresh approach to the instrumentation of these works based on combinations of synthesizer sounds including evocative steel drums and several different harps to bring fresh colours to the music and highlight the dazzling counterpoint and harmony.
		The start of Brahms Variations on a Theme by Paganini is very familiar to British listeners because it was used as the introductory music for a long running arts programme called the South Bank Show on TV.

	Principles of Counterpoint (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The variations tend to be largely contrapuntal; each variation develops its own motive(s) in imitative or stratified texture while repeating the basic melody (passacaglia) or harmonic progression (chaconne).
		As in any set of variations, the difficulties with the overall form are caused by the potential monotony of multiple adjacent sections of the same length and in the same tonality.
		The best solution to this problem is to create irregular groups of variations through similar motives, textures, progressions of note values, etc. Such grouping allows the creation of higher, asymmetrical formal units, mitigating the obvious periodicity of the form.
