Niccolò Paganini: Capriccio a violino solo "In cor più non mi sento": Violin

Edizione critica di - Critical edition by Italo Vescovo-This Capriccio per violino solo M.S. 54 should be considered as part of the group of short musical dedications that Paganini was in the habit of giving away to friends colleagues and the personalities he met during his travels. Dated 1828 dedicated to Count Maurizio Dietrichstein is a truly unique work not only for the way in which the music is organised (notated on four staves one for each string) but also because of the way in which it was conceived musically. The concept of polyphony is brought to an extreme level at least in conceptual and visual terms in this composition. Its brief structure is reminiscent of a kind of four-part chorale written in score. It is characterised by its lyrical and elegant writing style where the four voices move in polyphonic fashion giving birth to an extremely refined harmonic texture. This critical edition is based on the manuscript kept in the Ã?sterreichische Nationalbibliothek of Vienna compared with the modern editions.

per violino - Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo-The Caprice d?Adieu (autograph unknown) is appended to Eduard Eliason?s Six Caprices Caractéristiques pour le Violon Op. 12 which was published in Mayence by B. Schott in 1833. This piece which Paganini dedicated to Eliason is part of a series ofcompositions for violin solo that have been widely ignored by both performers and scholars of the great Genoese musician. It is a composition whose size and structure (A-B-A with two refrains) follows the pattern of some of his Capricci Op. 1 but unlike these proper studies the Caprice d?adieu is lighter and more lively in character. Although not as brilliant musically as the Capricci it still contains some original musical ideas mostly articulated in two parts with a few complextechnical passages and a central contrasting section featuring different dynamics and a range of chords and trills.This critical edition is based on the first edition and is collated with the most important nineteenth and twentieth-century editions.

Difficile. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Capriccio de Paganini 'In cor più non mi sento” pour violon solo est une oeuvre pratiquement inconnue dans sa forme originale à deux mouvements, respectivement Andante et Presto. La première (Andante) est une variation basée sur le thème de Paisello, tandis que la seconde (Presto) est une variation virtuose. Beaucoup moins célèbre que la version de Carl Guhr intitulée Introduction et Variations sur le thème 'Nel cor più non m sento' pour violon seul de Nicolo Paganini, qu'il a incluse dans son 'traité'. La version de Guhr, pour laquelle nous n'avons pas de source originale, a été publiée à plusieurs reprises. Il est beaucoup plus long et comporte beaucoup plus de variations que le Capriccio original, ce dernier étant souvent considéré comme une sorte de 'premier croquis' de l'oeuvre plus longue. La version de Guhr a, à bien des égards, éclipsé celle de Paganini, de sorte que l'originalité de sa composition et son intégrité en tant que pièce autonome n'ont pas été suffisamment appréciées. La présente édition critique est basée sur un manuscrit trouvé dans la Staatsbibliothek de Berlin. Il est comparé à l'édition de Zimmermann (1960), assez peu fiable du point de vue philologique, et au 'Tema' et 'Settima variazione' qui correspondent aux deux mouvements du Capriccio des fils de B. Schott (édition de 1829). / Niveau : Difficile / Répertoire / Violon
