The 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, were written in groups (six+six+twelve) by Niccolò Paganini between 1802 and 1817. They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento's «Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini»,〔Numbering from Moretti and Sorrento's catalog: Moretti, Maria R. & Sorrento, Anna (eds). ''Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini'', Genoa: Comune di Genova (1982).〕 which was published in 1982. The Caprices are in the form of études, with each number exploring different skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.) Ricordi first published them in 1820, where they were grouped and numbered from 1 to 24 as Op.1, together with 12 Sonatas for Violin and Guitar (Op.2 and Op.3) and 6 Guitar Quartets (Op.4 and Op.5). When Paganini released his Caprices, he dedicated them "alli artisti" (to all artists) rather than to a specific person, also if a sort of dedication can be recognized in Paganini's own score, where he annotated (between 1832 and 1840) the following 'dedicatee' for each Caprice (possibly ready for a new printed edition): 1. Henri Vieuxtemps; 2. Giuseppe Austri; 3. Ernesto Camillo Sivori; 4. Ole Bornemann Bull; 5. Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst; 6. Karol Józef Lipiński; 7. Franz Liszt; 8. Delphin Alard; 9. Herrmann; 10. Théodor Haumann; 11. Sigismond Thalberg; 12. Dhuler; 13. Charles Philippe Lafont; 14. Jacques Pierre Rode; 15. Louis Spohr; 16. Rodolphe Kreutzer; 17. Alexandre Artôt; 18. Antoine Bohrer; 19. Andreas Jakob Romberg; 20. Carlo Gignami; 21. Antonio Bazzini; 22. Luigi Alliani; 23. (name ); 24. "Nicolò Paganini, sepolto pur troppo" (to my self, regrettably buried). Ferdinand David's first edition was published by Breitkopf and Härtel in 1854. David, as editor, also issued an edition of "Caprices" with piano accompaniments by Robert Schumann. Another edition by Ferdinand David was issued in two books of 12 caprices each ''"mit hinzugefügter Begleitung des Pianoforte von Ferdinand David"'' (with an additional piano accompaniment by Ferdinand David) and published by Breitkopf und Härtel (c.1860).〔(Paganini: 24 Capricci per il Violino solo, "dedicati agli Artisti" Op.1 - Robin Stowell )〕 Unlike many earlier and later sets of 24 pieces, there was no intention to write these caprices in 24 different keys. ==List== *Caprice No.1 in E major ''"Arpeggios"'' (Andante) *Caprice No.2 in B minor (Moderato) *Caprice No.3 in E minor ''"Octaves"'' (Sostenuto – Presto – Sostenuto) *Caprice No.4 in C minor ''"Thirds"'' (Maestoso) *Caprice No.5 in A minor (Agitato) *Caprice No.6 in G minor ''"The Trill / Tremolo"'' (Lento) *Caprice No.7 in A minor (Posato) *Caprice No.8 in E-flat major (Maestoso) *Caprice No.9 in E major ''"The Hunt / La chasse"'' (Allegretto) *Caprice No.10 in G minor (Vivace) *Caprice No.11 in C major (Andante – Presto – Andante) *Caprice No.12 in A-flat major (Allegro) *Caprice No.13 in B-flat major ''"The Devil's Laughter"'' (Allegro) *Caprice No.14 in E-flat major (Moderato) *Caprice No.15 in E minor (Posato) *Caprice No.16 in G minor (Presto) *Caprice No.17 in E-flat major (Sostenuto – Andante) *Caprice No.18 in C major (Corrente – Allegro) *Caprice No.19 in E-flat major (Lento – Allegro assai) *Caprice No.20 in D major (Allegretto) *Caprice No.21 in A major (Amoroso – Presto) *Caprice No.22 in F major (Marcato) *Caprice No.23 in E-flat major (Posato – Minore – Posato) *Caprice No.24 in A minor (Tema.
