Original title: Variations sur le 24e Caprice de Paganini.

Scoring: the recordings on this page include a violin version and a string-quartet arrangement.

The theme is Niccolò Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 in A minor, from Op. 1. This page contains performances in different scorings, including Jacques Ysaÿe’s string-quartet arrangement. The violin-and-piano edition arranged by Jacques Ysaÿe appeared in 1960; that is not the composition date. The dates of the versions represented here are not securely established.
