Variations on a Theme by Paganini

Written for percussionist Thomas Burritt, Variations on a Theme by Paganini provides an original set of variations specifically for solo marimba on Paganini's famous 24th Violin Caprice. Just as Paganini did for the violin, Dickinson explores the neverending expressive and virtuosic possibilities of the marimba, delving deeper and deeper with each subsequent variation.
