Antonín Dvořák's Symphonic Variations on the Theme “I am a fiddler” (Czech: Symfonické variace z písně „Já jsem huslař“) for orchestra, Op. 78, B. 70, were written in 1877. They are played fairly commonly, much like Johannes Brahms's Variations on a Theme by Haydn and Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations. They are often recorded in conjunction with his nine symphonies.
