Vol. 3 of 'Die frohliche Violine' pursues the same musical and technical goals as the first two volumes. It contains a detailed introduction to the flat keys, C major key as well as the 2nd and 3rd positions. The last chapter takes up the subject matter of the first chapters again in a more demanding form and with longer charming pieces, giving an insight into 'virtuoso' violin technique.

The Sonata à violin solo (M.S. 83) is an early work by Paganini that can be ascribed to the years 1796-1800, a period which includes works such as the posthumous Grande concerto (M.S. 75), the Inno patriottico con variazioni (M.S. 81) and the Tema variato (M.S. 82)for violin. There are no doubts as to the authenticity of the work: the highly virtuosic experimental writing, the indications “Organetto†and “Flagioletto†and the use of the fourth string are all distinctive traits found in Paganini's writing from this period which link the Sonata to the Inno patriottico con variazioni and the Tema variato. The most significant characteristics of this composition are its length and the three-movement structure that connect it to the Classical style, at least far as the first movement is concerned: it is written in sonata form, something rarely seen in Paganini's solo violin works.

The four Valtz (plus a fifth in the Appendix, which constitutes the first draft of n. 3) for violin, published here for the first time in their manuscript form, although brief, are important musically since they add to the rich and varied catalogue of works for solo violin by Paganini. The pieces can be found within the manuscript of the Ghiribizzi for guitar M.S. 43. Their musical structure is simple, as is found in this genre of compositions and is mostly divided into a bipartite form (8+8 bars) with ritornelli. These are short but very pleasant pieces, in which it is not difficult to find the spirit of the great Genoese composer of small compositions.

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 of compositions 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 complex technical 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.

Camillo Sivori was considered a child prodigy in his time. He started playing the violin at the age of 2. He later became the only student of Niccolò Paganini. His 12 Étude-Caprices for solo violin demand a high degree of virtuosity. This critical new edition is based on the first edition, the practical playing arrangement was made by the Lübeck professor Maria Egelhof.
