Variations on a Theme by Paganini (Polish: Wariacje na temat Paganiniego), often referred to as the Paganini Variations, is an arrangement for two pianos of Niccolò Paganini's Caprice No. 24, from Paganini's original set of 24 Caprices for violin, written by Polish composer Witold Lutosławski. The arrangement, originally composed in 1941, was later re-arranged for piano and orchestra.
