Paganini Variations (Brahms) - Definition and Overview

The Paganini Variations are a set of theme and variations, written by Johannes Brahms (Op. 35). It is well-known for its emotional depth and technical challenge, and it is based upon 24th Caprice by Paganini.

Structurally, the work is divided into two sections ("Book I", Op. 35/1 and "Book II", Op. 35/2), with the theme stated at the beginning of each section. Each section concludes with a virtuosic finale-style variation.
