Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Paganini’s Inno patriottico con variazioni for solo violin M.S. 81 is a composition dating back to the period between 1796 and 1800, during which he also composed works such as the Carmagnola con variazioni M.S. 1 for violin and guitar, the Grande Concerto M.S. 75, the Tema variato for violin M.S. 82 and the Sonata a violin solo M.S. 83. There is not very much background material regarding the piece: the only certainties we have about it are that it dates from his early period, springs from a Genovese environment and has numerous similarities to the Carmagnola con variazioni M.S. 1: both compositions are based on a sprightly popular theme in 6/8 that can be traced back to the Perigordino, a French dance that first appeared in the Ligurian Apennines during the Napoleonic period. The structure of the Inno patriottico con variazioni substantially follows that of the Carmagnola and Tema variato: a theme followed by a series of variations in which Paganini demonstrates his personal concept of variation. This edition is based on a recently rediscovered, non-autograph source owned by the descendants of Eredi Sivori, in combination with the copy held by the Archivio Storico del Comune di Genova and printed sources./ Répertoire / Violon

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

Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo-Paganini’s Sonata a violino solo (M.S. 6) composed during his Lucca period (1805-1809) forms part of a series of music written for solo violin that has failed to attract the attention of both performers and scholars interested in Genoa’sfamous violinist. This work – published several times in the nineteenth century (especially outside Italy with various titles: Duetto per un violino solo Duo Merveille Meraviglia di Paganini word etc.) – is divided into twomovements (Adagio – Allegro molto). Paganini used a two-staff system of musical notation to produce two distinct levels of sound as well as graphically: pizzicato on the lower line arco on the upper. It is a short pleasing piece containing all the typical characteristics one expects from Paganini: melody and instrumental virtuosity.This critical edition based on the autograph kept at the Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome as part of a collection of the most important editions from the 1800s and 1900s is intended to provide scholars and performers a philologically reliable textthat revives the original version.

Fantasia for Violin and Piano-Born in Erfurt the composer Edward Mollenhauer (1827 1914) achieved success in America as a soloist and teacher. His best-known pieces for young violinists are The Infant Paganini and The Boy Paganini.The Mollenhauer fantasia The Infant Paganini is a charming introduction to early virtuoso techniques. It calls for bowing techniques such as detaché legato spiccato and arpeggios over three strings. Players are also expected to play harmonics and pizzicato.This showpiece (BA 10691) can be accomplished by young violinists who can play in first to third position and who are nearing completion of theSassmannshaus Early Start on the Violin volume 4.The Boy Paganini is an impressive concert piece which is more demanding. Its two movements call for changes of metre harmonics and pizzicato. Other challenges include chords on all four strings and simple passages in octaves.On the Violin (BA 10692) the technical requirements call for first to fifth position. Violinists should have completed volume 4 of Early Start on the Violin in order to master this work.- Popular recital pieces for young violinists and cellists.- Both works form an ideal continuation of the Sassmannshaus Early Start methods.

Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo. Nicolò Paganini?s trios for strings and guitar make up a small but significant group of pieces consisting of five works of different lengths, formal structure and difficulty: the Serenata in F major M.S. 115, the Terzetto in A minor M.S. 116, the Serenata in C major M.S. 17, the Terzetto concertante in D major M.S. 114, and the Terzetto in D major M.S. 69. Within this group, the Terzetto M.S. 116 and the Serenata M.S. 116 make up a small diptych for two violins and guitar that can be traced back to Paganini?s juvenile period (1796-1804). In addition to using the same musical formation, the two pieces also share some compositional features, regarding general formal characteristics as well as the order and the number of movements. Despite their simplicity, the two compositions still have features typical of Paganini?s writing from this period such as their spontaneous cantabilità, the freshness of their musical ideas, pleasant (if perhaps a little naive), and the well-defined sense of form that comes out in these small compositions.

Jascha Heifetz Version-Since their first publication by Ricordi in 1820 Paganinis Caprices Op. 1 have been sources of inspiration for many great violinists and composers. They have no equal either in beauty originality or difficulty of performance remarked the greatviolinist Ole Bull. However early editions on which most modern publications are based contain many errors as they were not proof read by the composer nor with his manuscript. Even since 1974 when the manuscript was finally published misprintspersisted in virtually every edition forcing players to rely on two or more editions. This was necessary to have both accurate notation that was more in line with Paganinis original intentions (Urtext editions) as well as useful technical markingssuch as fingerings and bowings later added by generations of master violinist. These practical editions however still contained many of the inconsistencies that were first introduced in the first and second printings. Now nearly two centuries later this edition finally offers violinists the best of both worlds uniting a newly-engraved Urtext violin part edited by Endre Granat with expert bowings and fingerings as practiced and taught by legendary violinist and Granats mentor Jascha Heifetz.

Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. The autograph composition entitled Alla spagnola is a fleeting piece, similar, in size, to other small works that Paganini called “capricci”, that he gave, on more than one occasion, to friends, colleagues and other figures he encountered during his travels: a piece which gives us a clear sense of the spirit of the Genoese master of brief compositions. The publication of this pleasant piece will add to his significant and varied body of pieces for solo violin./ Répertoire / Violon

from Centone di Sonate-The collection of sonatas for Violin and Guitar Centone Di Sonate was presumably written during Paganini's stay in Prague from 1828-9. The 18 sonatas in this collection (3 in this edition) clearly show that with regard to his compositions for Violin and Guitar Paganini underwent a brilliant process of maturing. The Centone Di Sonate reflects a compositional finesse not seen in his earlier works.

Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Les duos concertante, inédits, ont tout à fait d'un statut spécial en musique de chambre de Paganini travaille pour la plupart du temps, il a choisi une guitare d'accompagnement alors que les compositions pour instruments à cordes exclusivement sont rares. Les compositions sont de répondre aux attentes de leurs titres évoquent à la fois comme instruments de concert les uns avec les autres et sont également impliqués dans le processus musical./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Nicolò Paganini compte parmi les rares musiciens à avoir conquis leur rang uniquement grâce à un unique instrument. Ses compositions pour violon seul sont originales et ses apparitions en tant que soliste virtuose fascinaient le public. Pourtant Paganini avait appris enfant à jouer non seulement du violon mais aussi de la guitare. Et sans doute en bon Génois avait-il découvert avant de parcourir le monde la chanson «Barucabà» sur laquelle il écrivit en 1835 ses «Variations op. 14» pour violon et guitare. Cette édition de musique de chambre a été élaborée avec la précieuse collaboration du musicologue Alberto Cantù et du violoniste Renato De Barbieri. Les doigtés de ce dernierdans la partie de violon complètent très utilement cette édition.
