Pop-Capricen

The compositions by Jacques Pierre Joseph Rode (1774-1830) especially his violin concertos and the caprices in this edition have been very popular among violinists to this day. The caprices have taken on a permanent place in the solo violin literature next to those by Kreutzer Dont Wieniawski or Paganini since they are invaluable for a sound technical and musical training. What gives this edition its special value is that the renowned violin teacher Max Rostal wrote preparatory exercises for each of the 24 caprices which are tailor-made to match methodologically exactly the content of the exercise of the respective caprice.
