Paganini Variations
Caprice No. 24 in A minor is the final caprice of Niccolò Paganini's 24 Caprices, and a famous work for solo violin. The caprice, in the key of A minor, consists of a theme, 11 variations, and a finale. His 24 Caprices were probably composed in 1807, while he was in the service of the Baciocchi court.

Compositions based on it, and transcriptions of it, include: * Angra – Used the main theme for an interlude on electric guitar on the song ''Angels Cry'', from the album of same n ...
