Paganini and Wieniawski were among the 19th century's most famous violin virtuosos and composed some of the solo violin repertoire's most treasured works. Here, in one large-format playing edition, are Paganini's innovative Caprices and Wieniawski's much-admired collections, L'Ecole Moderne and Etudes Caprices. The three scores offer hours of rigorous practice and rehearsal.

This review is from: Caprices and Etudes for Solo Violin (Dover Chamber Music Scores) (Paperback)
If, you are looking for a better performance in your bowing, and all the color in your violin, adquire this Book. The level is high and you need to be patient and practice to raise the correct level. I like the book, because has a good presentation, some notes about how perform some passages and the best of all, are three books on one book, The 24 Caprices, The E'cole Moderne(Wieniawski), and 8 Wieniawski Etudes.

Rising to a difficult task,

This review is from: Caprices and Etudes for Solo Violin (Dover Chamber Music Scores) (Paperback)
To say that Paganini was ahead of his time is an impossible understatement: we still haven't caught up with him 200 years later. He broke all the rules: parallel octaves, chromaticism, major/minor modulations seemingly at random, etc. etc. This book does a great job of transcribing these amazingly difficult passages. They're HARD, and there's no substitute for practice. Get to work!

Great for capable classical guitar and violin players,

This review is from: Caprices and Etudes for Solo Violin (Dover Chamber Music Scores) (Paperback)
Technically challenging and excellent for practice. Caprices are essentially very difficult excercises. Paganini dedicated the caprices to the "artists" and the sonatas to the "amateurs".
