Paganini Caprices
Album by Niccolò Paganini & Ruggiero Ricci
The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1, are a set of virtuosic solo pieces by Italian composer Niccolò Paganini, first published in 1819. The works feature extreme technical demands — including rapid passagework, wide intervallic leaps and left‑hand pizzicato — and have played a central role in advancing violin technique and shaping nineteenth‑century virtuoso performance practice.
