This is one of the most difficult pieces for violin Paganini; of hence the name "Caprice" (whim) that requires mastery of parallel octaves, minor scales in thirds and tenths, and arpeggios in many intervals (apart from the pizzicatos of which we spoke earlier in this blog). The posting here because a few weeks ago I witnessed one of the most bizarre and better interpretations made by Felipe Diosdado, violinist of extraordinary talent, whom I thank for the concert to a person, perfect in eleven changes required by this part, difficult even for skilled or those with years in the management of the violin. Such gifts
convinced me that true art has long moved away from the bourgeois salons of the windows and display areas where mediocrity reigns financial considerations, the ring and, often, the arrogance and opportunism.
