On The Fiddle consists of three pieces derived from scores to three Peter Greenaway films. The first piece Full Fathom Five is a version of the Shakespeare song setting made for Prospero's Books (1990). The second 'AngelfishDecay' is an arrangement of an arrangement: the music for the speeded up time lapse decaying animal sequences in A Zed And Two Noughts (1985) was written for two violins and a harpsichord.

per violino - Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo-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 ofcompositions 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 complextechnical 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.

Well known for his style of bowing his splendid tone and the clearness of his execution French violinist teacher and composer Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831) composed nineteen Violin concertos and forty operas during his life time and is perhaps best known for his 42 Études or Capriccios 1796. Born in Versailles Kreutzer was initially taught by his German father who was a musician in the royal chapel with later lessons from Anton Stamitz. He quickly rose to fame as a Violinist appearing as a soloist until 1810. In 1798 when at Vienna in the service of the French ambassador Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte (later King ofSweden and Norway) Kreutzer the made the aquaintance of Beethoven and became the dedicatee of his Violin Sonata No. 9 Op. 47 (1803). Kreutzer however never played the work declaring it unplayable and incomprehensible. From 1795 until 1826 Kreutzer taught at the Conservatoire de Paris where he became co-author of the Conservatoire's Violin method with Pierre Rode and Pierre Baillot. He was also leader of the Paris Opera for a time. This volume contains Kreutzer's 42 Études which are to this day considered fundamental studies for student Violinists.

The Red Violin Caprices are derived from John Corigliano's music for 'The Red Violin' which received the 1999 academy Award for Best Original Score. Arranged for solo violin suitable for advanced players. Edited by JoshuaBell.

24 Etudes-Caprices Op. 41 by Delphin Alard (1815-1888) are excellent study material. Alard, the violin teacher of Sasasate, composed these studies in the 24 keys. Due to their musical variety, melodic beauty and cantabile voice leading, they are much more than technical studies; they might be described as character pieces in the best sense. The studies meet the two demands principally made on this genre: to both cover specifically certain technical tasks and be appealing as a music piece so that the musician likes to play them. Contenu - C major: playing three and four-part chords - playing in high positions on the G string - A minor: string-crossing - shifting with the left arm - spiccato bowing - G major: alternating double-stopping (melodic line)-solo line - E minor: cantabile melodic line - ornamentation - D major: double-stopping - harmonics - ricochet bowing - B minor: consistent legato bowing - expressive melodic line alternating with accompanying figures-A major: double-stopping (mainly in sixths) - three-part chords - ricochet bowing - F minor: legato study - E major: double-stopping (mainly in thirds) - C minor: playing a melody on one string - tremolo - B major: waltzes- lively dance-like patterns - G minor: ornamenting notes - long legato bowing - Gb major: legato string-crossing - Eb minor: lightness and elegance of tone - staccato - Db major: dotted rhythms - Bb minor: alternating solo melodic line- double-stopping - Ab major: Caprice for bringing out tone quality when playing legato - F minor: restless tied notes - lyrical lines in the middle section - Eb major: continuous tremolo accompanying figures - C minor: ricochet bowing - legato string-crossing - Bb major: alternating solo line- double-stopping - G minor: double-stopping with syncopations - F major: double-stopping dotted notes in horn-fifths - D minor: Bolero in virtuoso style - double-stopping - staccato bowing - lyrical middle section

The Austrian violinist and composer Jakob Dont (1815-1888) very early became a member of the Vienna Hofburg Theatre later of the Court Chapel. Although he had made a name for himself as a soloist he decided in favour of a career in education. For his instrument the violin he wrote about 50 works most of them modern opera pot-pourris and character pieces which are forgotten today. Apart from the preliminary exercises for Kreutzer and Rohde his 'Studies and Caprices' (opus 35) however have become an integral part of violin lessons. Praised by Joachim Auer and Flesch these outstanding studies were edited by Max Rostal in consideration of a modern violin technique andcomplemented by preparatory exercises and variants.

24 Caprices For Solo Flute were originally composed for Violin between 1802 and 1817 and published in 1819. They are in the form of études and are intended each to focus and hone a particular difficult skill ortechnique.
