This is one of Hannikainen's best-known pieces. It combines Impressionism with virtuoso elements in the spirit of Liszt and Ravel, and a hint of Rakhmaninov's Romanticism surfaces in the middle section.

Ruders writes: There's a solid tradition in the history of Western music of turning the theme of Nicolo Paganini's 24th Caprice for soloviolin into a set of variations endemic to the time and style of each individual composer; Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Lutoslawsky being the most prominent names. When asked by David Starobin to write a concerto for him, I though well, why not have a go at it? - bearing in mind, that not only is Paganini the most celebrated violin-wizard of all times, but he was also a more than accomplished guitarist. There are 22 variations in all, numbers 1 to 16 all adhering strictly to the 16-bar pattern, laid down by Paganini himself. From variation 17 though, the writing becomes more symphonic and the rigid 16-bar regime is being lossendes up a bit. However, the last variation 'Finale Prestisimo' is a 6 x 16 bars white-knuckle ride, in which the hitherto soloistic role of the guitar gives way to that of 'primus interpares', i.e. 'first among equals'. As with another set of variations of mine 'Concerto on Pieces' (based on a tune by Purcell), the nature and shape of the 'Pagannini-Variations' may be compared to a stroll through a hall of mirrors: the portrait - the theme is gradually being distorted out of all recognition - but it's still the same original walking by.

The album World Piano Music I includes representative samples of piano literature from various style periods. The selection of recital compositions by important world authors (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Chopin, Liszt, Cajkovskij, Rachmaninov, Grieg, and Debussy), chronologically dated by year of origin, offers a wide spectrum of forms and genres. The album follows the selection and order of the compositions made by A. Fiserova with the exception of 'Rustles of Spring' by Sinding which could not have been used in the new edition on the grounds of copyright protection. The repertoire is suitable mainly for the upper levels of primary art schools.
