Wieniawski's Theme Original Varie, or 'Originalthema Mit Variationen' is quite the show-stopper. Beginning with an intense, complex cadenza, leading into a beautiful theme in F-sharp minor, to be repeated with lively, virtuosic variations. in 'Selected Violin Solos and How to Play Them' Basil Althaus notes that this stand-alone composition was a favorite to violin player jan kubelik. The first known publishing of opus 15 is in 1854 by Breitkopf et Hartel, for violin and orchestra or piano.
