Attainable for almost everyone-Paganini wrote virtuoso violin music that could only be played by a few musicians. However in this book celebrated compositions by Paganini have been adapted and simplified in such a way that they are playable for practically every violinist - without violating the character and the typical features of his music. Tours de force such as pizzicato in the left hand ricochet and harmonics are retained in a simplified form so the pieces in Easy Paganini still sound spectacular and are very violinistic. When it comes to technical requirements for the left hand the third position (with the occasional further extension) will suffice.
