Niccolò Paganini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Niccolò (or Nicolò) Paganini (27 October 1782 – 27 May 1840) was an Italian violinist, violist, guitarist, and composer. He was the most celebrated violin virtuoso of his time, and left his mark as one of the pillars of modern violin technique. His 24 Caprices for Solo Violin Op.1 are among the best known of his compositions, and have served as an inspiration for many prominent composers.

24 Caprices for Solo Violin (Paganini)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, were written in groups (six+six+twelve) by Niccolò Paganini between 1802 and 1817. They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento's «Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini»,[1] which was published in 1982. The Caprices are in the form of études, with each number exploring different skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.)

Ricordi first published them in 1820, where they were grouped and numbered from 1 to 24 as Op.1, together with 12 Sonatas for Violin and Guitar (Op.2 and Op.3) and 6 Guitar Quartets (Op.4 and Op.5). When Paganini released his Caprices, he dedicated them "alli artisti" (to all artists) rather than to a specific person, also if a sort of dedication can be recognized in Paganini's own score, where he annotated (between 1832 and 1840) the following 'dedicatee' for each Caprice (possibly ready for a new printed edition): 1. Henri Vieuxtemps; 2. Giuseppe Austri; 3. Ernesto Camillo Sivori; 4. Ole Bornemann Bull; 5. Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst; 6. Karol Józef Lipiński; 7. Franz Liszt; 8. Delphin Alard; 9. Herrmann; 10. Théodor Haumann (sv); 11. Sigismond Thalberg; 12. Dhuler; 13. Charles Philippe Lafont; 14. Jacques Pierre Rode; 15. Louis Spohr; 16. Rodolphe Kreutzer; 17. Alexandre Artôt; 18. Antoine Bohrer; 19. Andreas Jakob Romberg; 20. Carlo Gignami; 21. Antonio Bazzini; 22. Luigi Alliani; 23. [no name]; 24. "Nicolò Paganini, sepolto pur troppo" (to my self, regrettably buried).

Ferdinand David's first edition was published by Breitkopf and Härtel in 1854. David, as editor, also issued an edition of "Caprices" with piano accompaniments by Robert Schumann. Another edition by Ferdinand David was issued in two books of 12 caprices each "mit hinzugefügter Begleitung des Pianoforte von Ferdinand David" (with an additional piano accompaniment by Ferdinand David) and published by Breitkopf und Härtel (c.1860).[2]

Unlike many earlier and later sets of 24 pieces, there was no intention to write these caprices in 24 different keys.

I thought this might have been an opus.

I love listening to Paganini. The 24 caprices as well as the violin concertos. Thanks for posting.

The Caprices rank among my most favorites in the classical genre. Truly inspired.

Thanks for the post, WhiskeyX.
