24 Caprices

Album by Niccolò Paganini & Alina Ibragimova

24 Caprices is a set of 24 solo violin caprices by Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini, composed between 1802 and 1817. The pieces are characterised by high technical demands, including rapid string‑crossing, left‑hand pizzicato, artificial harmonics and unconventional bowing techniques, and they occupy a central place in the violin repertoire for advancing technical and expressive possibilities.
