Corelli's Opus 5 collection of violin sonatas was composed in 1700 and concludes with the famous "La Follia," a series of 24 variations on a popular Portuguese tune. Though the source material was used by other composers as well, this treatement of it has become so linked with Corelli that Rachmaninoff later called his own musings on the tune "Variations on a Theme of Corelli."
