The French violin virtuoso Jacques Pierre Joseph Rode (1774-1830) was a favourite pupil of Giovanni Battista Viotti, whose concertos he often performed. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his final Violin Sonata for Rode. These 24 Caprices in all the keys were composed between 1814 and 1819 and have become a standard part of advanced violin study. This classic Edition Peters publication is an essential part of any advancing violinist's library.
Together with Pierre Baillot and Rodolphe Kreutzer, the violinist Pierre Rode founded the influential Franco-Belgian violin school at the end of the 18th century. Celebrated across Europe, Rode's "24 Caprices en Forme d'Études" in all keys stand as impressive testament to his technical mastery. While solely focused on exploring technical phenomena, he composed valuable works that recall Paganini's pieces of the same name. To this day, these "Caprices" remain a cornerstone of every violinist's training at the conservatory level.
Kalmus introduces two concertos to its catalog that are gems. Rarely found yet worthy of performance and study. Both violin and piano parts are included.
