Paganini / Schumann – 24 Caprices for Violin and Piano.

Description

The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1, were written by Niccolò Paganini between 1802 and 1817 and published in 1819. The caprices are in the form of études, with each number studying individual skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.)

Here we have Paganini’s 24 Caprices with a piano accompaniment written by the infamous Robert Schumann. Suitable for Grades 5 and up.
