18th Variation on a Theme of Paganini was composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The recording is performed by Jeremiah Jones and is 2 minutes and 31 seconds in length.

This recording is actually of two pianos. My mother is playing the orchestral accompaniment while I am playing the piano part. This piece was made famous by the movie "Somewhere in Time" and continues to be a favorite among people. If you ever have the chance to see a performance of all 32 (I think that is the right number?) variations, I encourage you to do so. It is highly worth it and you'll be surprised at how different this particular variation is from the others.

I sinerely apologize for the inconvenience, but I had to remove this recording due to a copyright infringement. I was recently made aware that this composition is still protected under U.S. copyright law and in order to avoid having to pay additional fees I had no choice but to remove this recording from the website.
