24 Caprices, op. 1

Album by Niccolò Paganini & Raaf Hekkema

The 24 Caprices, Op. 1 are a set of 24 caprices for solo violin by Niccolò Paganini, published in 1819. Musically they present extreme virtuosic techniques such as rapid scales and arpeggios, extensive double-stopping, harmonics and left-hand pizzicato, and they occupy a pivotal place in the violin repertoire and in Paganini's career as a showcase of early 19th-century instrumental virtuosity.
First released: 2006
