24 CAPRICEN FÜR VIOLINE SOLO OP 1 - NICCOLÒ PAG...

Goethe wrote that after experiencing a Paganini concert he had  heard something meteoric  and
was unable to understand it. It was not until late in his career that Paganini became widely
known outside his native Italy. He made his first tour in 1828  and returned to Italy for good
in 1834. But the impression he made during these years was to have a profound effect  not only
on the course of violin technique but on how virtuosity in general could be incorporated into
serious composition - his influence can be felt in music from Liszt and Schumann through Brahms
to Rachmaninov (to name but a few of those who have used themes from these Caprices directly)
and beyond. The 24 Caprices were probably composed around 1805 - and probably not for public
performance. They provide a compendium of Paganini's technique  including extraordinary
velocity  a variety of bowing style (balzato  spiccato  martellato etc.)  passages in thirds 
sixths  octaves and tenths  multiple stopping (up to quadruple)  double trilling  left handed
pizzicato and the imitation of other instruments (flute  guitar  and horn). No violinist should
be without this classic Edition Peters Urtext edition of one of the most important works for
the instrument.
