The Variations retain most of Paganini's original material for solo violin. [1] As Paganini's original composition, it is structured as a theme with variations, presenting the theme, a total of twelve variations, and a final coda. The additional twelfth variation before the coda is Lutosławski's only structural alteration in the piece.

Variations is a classical and rock fusion album. The music was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and performed by his younger brother, the cellist Julian Lloyd Webber..
