The "Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35" by Johannes Brahms is a set of variations for piano and orchestra that showcases both the technical prowess and emotional depth of the composer. The work is based on a theme from Niccolò Paganini's Caprice No. 24 for solo violin, and Brahms transforms this theme through a series of imaginative variations, blending lyrical melodies with intricate counterpoint. The piece is notable for its rich harmonies and the interplay between the piano and orchestral accompaniment, culminating in a dramatic finale. It reflects Brahms' ability to combine classical forms with Romantic expressiveness, making it a staple in the concert repertoire.
The composer Joseph Haydn wrote 471 different works. Of these 68 were string quartets, 108 were symphonies, and 20 were operas.
Brahms's style of composition was basically romantic in expression within classical structures. If you mean what genres did he compose in, these are the principle ones: Symphonies, concertos, string quartets and other chamber music, songs, sonatas and short pieces for keyboard. He did not compose music for the theatre (operas or ballets).

Many composers did. For example , Ravel wrote a piece called Le Tombeau de Couperin, which is a hommage to Francois Couperin. A popular way to honor another composer is to do a theme and variations on one of their works, such as Rachmaninoff did in Rhapsodie on a Theme of Paganini.
