拉赫曼尼諾夫為二十世紀俄國重要作曲家，亦為技巧高超的鋼琴巨匠，由於不凡的人生際遇與性格，使其作品散發出濃厚的鄉愁情懷與俄國風情。拉赫曼尼諾夫於一九三一年所完成的《柯賴里主題變奏曲》為其創作生涯中最後一首鋼琴獨奏曲，無論在樂曲風格亦或創作手法皆已臻成熟，成為晚期最具代表性的作品之一。此樂曲是根據葡萄牙傳統舞蹈「佛利亞」之旋律為主題創作而成，拉赫曼尼諾夫以慣用的炫技風格及多元的創作元素，使各變奏呈現多樣化之面貌，而帶給演奏者無限的挑戰空間。
本文主要分為兩大部分，第一部份探討拉赫曼尼諾夫之生平背景與音樂創作風格，藉以了解影響拉赫曼尼諾夫創作風格形成之因素；第二部份則深入探討《柯賴里主題變奏曲》，包含其創作背景並分析其曲式架構、創作手法、變奏方式等等，藉由素材的分析與歸納，更深刻了解此曲之音樂內涵。

Sergei Rachmaninoff was a major composer in the twentieth century and also a great piano virtuoso. With his unique life experience and personality, Rachmaninoff’s music reveals both deep nostalgia mood and Russian style. Variations on a Theme of Corelli, composed in 1931, was Rachmaninoff’s final piano solo work. His writing style and compositional technique have reached maturity in this piece, which is one of the most representative works during his late period. The Corelli Variations were based on the melody from traditional Portugal dance La Folia. Rachmaninoff employed the virtuoso piano techniques and different musical elements to create diversity for each variation. To all pianists, this work definitely is a big challenge .
This lecture paper contains two main sections. The first section focuses on the life background and musical style of Rachmaninoff. The second section discusses Corelli variations, including its compositional background, formal structure and variation technique.
