NOTES
Composed between
1801 and 1807, Niccolò Paganini’s 24 Caprices, Op.1 for solo violin are
some of the most technically demanding in the repertoire. Each caprice
highlights particular virtuosic violin techniques, such as cross-string
arpeggios, left-hand pizzicato, double-stop harmonics and ‘ricochet’ bowings.
These two selections adapt extremely well to the marimba and, in turn, showcase
many of the virtuosic four-mallet techniques found in contemporary marimba
performance.
