Didn't Paganini compose these Caprices for his own fun? Seriously, who plays this for fun?! I'm not too shabby a violinist, but I draw the line at Paganini! Holy moly!
@The SeryTy I literally just had a play through of that. Not impossible for me to learn (and play it well)... but difficult as all hell!!! Lots of trickery in there where some passages are actually easier than what they appear. Then there are fleeting moments which are almost impossible to perform well haha. A BRILLIANT mix of Paganini's techniques!
Something I just learned today is that Paganini actually had a genetic condition which caused his fingers to be much longer (like probably 60% larger) than most people's, which is why he was able to perform stuff of this caliber. Those intervals would be a piece of cake for his lengthy fingers. Also helps that he had incredible virtuosity with the instrument.
Some medical expert suspect Pagani had Marfan(sic) syndrome. They can be extremely tall, Pagani was about 6'4", nearly every joint is double jointed, and usually above average intelligence.
The great difficulty, in my opinion, is to achieve an "Andante" feeling paying attention to the low notes instead of each 32nd note. The main feeling should be the quarter notes, each harmony, and the 32nd notes, like in slow movementes from Beethoven's Sonatas, with 128th notes not with virtuoso character.
I think this is exactly how Paganini would've wanted to hear it performed!!!! Not too fast, not many ritardandi, nice timbre. This is my favourite recording now. I used to love Perlman's as my no.1 but I find it too fast now. It's still great of course!
Time signature is Andante (not prestissimo). If you slow down the tempo, you can’t do ricochet like Accardo does here. You must work the bow on the staccato technique, which is really not the same. Funnily enough, in the end, the slower you go, the more technically demanding it gets. And also more musically interesting, but this part is just my opinion 😊
I’m afraid I must disagree with you here. I mean, in any tempo this caprice would be “musically interesting” because, besides being a virtuoso, Paganini was also, as you know, a brilliant composer with a pension for lovely yet sophisticated and original melodies! But to me, this melody relies on smoothness and flow, to trickle down upon the ears like a playful little waterfall. It’s dazzling to play, but quite gentle and almost soothing to listen to. I think that mentality would be lost in a slower tempo even with the most brilliant violinist playing it. The only way I could see it work if it was played legato rather than staccato as you mention, with smooth notes filled with little hints of vibrato, flowing from one dynamic to the next, almost dance like in attitude. Im curious to know what you think about this?
Sight reading won’t be something that is achievable, unless you want to play much slower than intended, which is the case for most sight readings, but all of his caprices are top level difficulty, so even if you become a master you won’t sight read them to perfection.
THE DEVIL: Alright, boy, I'll bet a Stradivarius against your soul, 'cause I think I'm better than you. PAGANINI: Alright, try this one out, I wrote it yesterday. *Hands him a music sheet* THE DEVIL: What in Heaven's name is this? Never mind, I forfeit.

In terms of the violin, it's akin to letting the bow bounce off the strings in a controlled manner so as to successfully emulate the style that Paganini requires for this caprice.

It is fun...
to see a person in pain as they are practising it
Who AreYou! Salvatore Accardo PERFORMED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's really arpeggios in this caprice. Nothing to complicated till you try to get it to tempo
Who AreYou hahahahahahaha

Nobody:
Paganini while making this: I bought the whole violin, i use the whole violin
and we are not complaining
@Cheuk Hin Lo We can’t
@@nghiavan8952 we shan't
Paganini being generous in No. 9
Paganini, the whole time writing the caprices: “Haha tricky Nicky strikes again”
Tricky Nicky, like panini but with a G
Paganini: yeah dude I am trying to kill the violinist.

Mitsuo _ I don’t think his fingers were longer, per se, but rather had a far greater dexterity than the average hands through his deformity.
Rachanini
It's called Marfans Syndrome
Rachmaninoff had that as well

btw to everyone wondering about "andante" its 32nd notes all the way through so andante is fast
"Andante" lol
i was thinking the same thing
@@bobwon11 same
lol

Ben's Google hahahaha
I know nothing of music, but those notes TRULY intimidates me.
actually this a great piece for beginners
This is harder than math

even harder than multi variable calculus i gotta admit

Any thoughts on Shlomo Mintz’s performances?
@@TheExarion Young Mintz is excellent, current Mintz is scratching all over the place!
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 this is so me rn
i found shlomo through his old recordings and then see him now and its like bruh
Insane arpeggios and other sessions incredible fucking respect Nicolo Paganini eternal!!!
Violinists: iT's So HaRd
Pianists: at least yours is playable
Liszt and Brahms: Laughing (but they didn't really get along so..)
Rachmaninow 3 piano concerto 😂
Yeah the 1838 version is not playable
bro uploaded the sheet music for this as if mere mortals like me can actually play this
Guitar Player: Hahahaha, Just Chord.
Violin: But This Harder.
The verry first acid riff ever created by a human being.
Extraordinario!!!
Andante???So how would Paganini play if it's Presto???
Võ Lê Minh Kha maybe he was on drugs 😳
Michael Flores I wish I could listen how would Paganini play this. Maybe 2x or 1.5x speed
Võ Lê Minh Kha download the app maestro and copy the song and out it on a faster tempo
It’s actually easier when it’s faster because it’s a ricochet bowing
@@kadenze6176 Yes!
I thought Caprices 5 and 24 were crazy. Holy crap this is insane.

It's a cleanest ricochet Bowing ever i've Heard. You you give me a chance to enjoy each note
Just finished mastering caprice 24 And I it was hard....
CarlosMz hahahahaha
And there's a tall thin young man whose make this relatable and unplayable on a piano and you know who young that man is.
What?
Liszt I assume...
BAAHHAHAHAHAHA liszt really does make everything more difficult than it has to be :’)
Paganini was just like: "Ok, how to use this shit as a piano?"
Liszt: “I gotchu fam”

My favourite music
The first ricochet string crossing alone made my pinky hurt
This rlly easy
hey paganini!
Why did you torture us violinists with this. How did you play this.
Can u stop ebing so talented, my mom keeps comparing me to you please stop!
fuk u
LMAO
Do I have to sell my soul to learn just the first Caprice? Geez
Finally something my shaky ass hand can play and sound at least decent
I learned how to do ricochet and jumping arpeggios, is that a start?
why would you ever do this do yourself
😯 fast Paganini
I know it’s could not beee Paganini
Guys, I'm going to challenge myself, (when I am at that level) to sightread all Paganini caprices.
not possible. if you want to play it only decent theres no way. not even heifetz was able and he played mendelssohn e minor when he was six.
Sight reading won’t be something that is achievable, unless you want to play much slower than intended, which is the case for most sight readings, but all of his caprices are top level difficulty, so even if you become a master you won’t sight read them to perfection.
Maximilian B. What about two set huh
Firey Jr. they’re secretly ling lings
However
This is my favourite one out of the 24
rest formata. REST AS LONG AS YOU NEED BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT said Paganini from the grave.
Wow !
This puts the virtu(ally impossible) in virtuoso

I swear, Paganini wrote this for his own amusement.
I guess this was only meant for him but here we are..
the double stops coming down after the string crossings sounds awful, like seriously. Amazing job...besides those double stops
