Paganini's Caprice Paganini's Caprices are among the most spectacular of all his works, and the 24th Caprice is perhaps the best known of the set. Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840) was one of the first great violin virtuosi, and his pieces composed for solo violin seemed almost impossible to perform (making some think of Paganini as a "magician" or "devil") when first composed. Now, 150 years later, they still provide considerable challenges to even the world's greatest fiddlers. www.media.mit.edu /%7Etristan/Projects/paganini.html   (177 words)

Blacher begins with the theme in its raw form, played by a solo violin, just as in Paganini’s Caprice. www.sfsymphony.org /templates/pgmnote.asp?nodeid=2106&callid=117   (177 words)
