After becoming accquainted with Gerard Hoffnung's Music Festivals (concerts that contain downright humorous works), I decided to write one of my own.
As you may have guess, this work heavily lifts from Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. That being said, I did deviate a bit from the original source. For example, my version is shorter than Rachmaninoff's, and I even included a cadenza (which Rachmaninoff's version does not have).
