Whilst Tchaikovsky was inspired by the vitality of
Italian life and folk song when on holiday in Rome, Respighi portrayed the mighty ancient Romans in his tour de
force tone poem. Arensky used a Tchaikovsky melody for his popular Variations and
the ubiquitous theme by Italian musician Paganini was used perhaps most famously
by Rachmaninov, in his incredible, virtuosic Rhapsody.
