24 Caprices

Album by Niccolò Paganini & James Ehnes

The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1 is a set of solo violin pieces by Italian composer Niccolò Paganini, published in 1819. They are virtuosic, technically demanding studies that explore extended techniques such as left-hand pizzicato, rapid arpeggiated passages and complex bowing articulations, and they significantly influenced 19th-century violin technique and repertoire as a defining development in Paganini's career.
