Since their first publication by Ricordi in 1820, Paganini's Caprices Op. 1 have been sources of inspiration for many great violinists and composers. They have no equal, “either in beauty, originality or difficulty of performance” remarked the great violinist Ole Bull. However, early editions on which most modern publications are based, contain many errors as they were not proof read by the composer nor with his manuscript. Even since 1974 when the manuscript was finally published, misprints persisted in virtually every edition, forcing players to rely on two or more editions. This was necessary to have both accurate notation that was more in line with Paganini's original intentions (Urtext editions) as well as useful technical markings such as fingerings and bowings later added by generations of master violinist. These “practical editions” however still contained many of the inconsistencies that were first introduced in the first and second printings. Now nearly two centuries later, this edition finally offers violinists the best of both worlds, uniting a newly-engraved Urtext violin part edited by Endre Granat, with expert bowings and fingerings as practiced and taught by legendary violinist and Granat's mentor, Jascha Heifetz.

Description

In the era before Paganini, brilliant solo violin cadenzas in sonatas or concerto movements were known as "capriccios." Similarly, virtuosic practice pieces for string instruments also bore this generic name. Nicolò Paganini's greatest creative achievement was merging the concertante cadenza form with the technical etude. His Op. 1 Capriccios opened up a new musical dimension in this genre, with their improvisational feel, melodic abundance, and spirited design.
