Variations on a Theme of Corelli

Variations on a Theme of Corelli (Russian: Вариации на тему А. Корели, Variatsii na temu A. Koreli), Op. 42, is a group of 20 variations on Arcangelo Corelli's Sonata for violin, violone, and harpsichord (Op. 5, No. 12), composed by Russian Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1931. Corelli's work was itself a set of variations on the Folia theme, which was popularly used as the basis for variations in Baroque music.
