DESCRIPTION:
-PAGANINI AND WIENIAWSKI WERE AMONG THE NINETEENTH 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 THREE OF THEIR MOST CELEBRATED WORKS FOR SOLO VIOLIN: PAGANINI`S INNOVATIVE CAPRICES, OP. 1, AND WIENIAWSKI`S MUCH-ADMIRED COLLECTIONS, L`ECOLE MODERNE, OP. 10, AND ETUDES CAPRICES, OP. 18.

-NICOLÓ PAGANINI (1782-1840) DEVELOPED A PHENOMENAL PLAYING TECHNIQUE, AND LITERALLY TRANSFORMED VIOLIN PLAYING WITH HIS DAZZLING TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGHS — FINGERED OCTAVES, DOUBLE-, TRIPLE-, AND QUADRUPLE-STOP CHORDS, AND 'RICOCHET' BOWINGS AMONG THEM. HIS TWENTY-FOUR CAPRICES, REPRINTED HERE FROM THE DEFINITIVE C. F. PETERS EDITION, ARE A VIRTUAL TEXTBOOK SUMMATION OF HIS EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENTS.

-HENRYK WIENIAWSKI (1835–80) GREATLY ENRICHED THE VIOLIN LITERATURE WITH HIS HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL STYLE, COMBINING PAGANINI`S TECHNICAL ADVANCES WITH A SOARING ROMANTICISM AND DISTINCTIVE SLAVONIC COLORING. HIS COLLECTIONS OF ETUDES, REPRINTED HERE FROM AUTHORITATIVE EDITIONS, ARE, LIKE PAGANINI`S CAPRICES, AMONG THE MOST DEMANDING WORKS IN THE SOLO VIOLIN REPERTORY AND ESSENTIAL PARTS OF EVERY VIOLINIST`S TRAINING.
