Fritz Kreisler’s Variations on a Theme of Corelli for Violin, Strings, and Organ is a brilliant orchestration of his original violin and piano work. Based on Arcangelo Corelli’s La Folia theme, Kreisler expands the piece into a rich and vibrant dialogue between the solo violin and the ensemble. The variations showcase virtuosic violin passages, expressive lyricism, and dynamic contrasts, enhanced by the warm sonorities of the strings and the organ’s majestic presence. This version retains Kreisler’s signature charm while adding greater depth and grandeur to the Baroque-inspired theme.
