Paganini Caprices

Album by Niccolò Paganini & Robert Schumann & David Garrett & Bruno Canino

The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1 are a set of caprices by Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini, composed between 1802 and 1817. They are virtuosic studies that systematically explore advanced techniques such as left-hand pizzicato, ricochet bowing, large leaps and rapid fingerwork, and they expanded the technical and expressive possibilities of the solo violin repertoire.
First released: 1st April 1997
