Niccolò Paganini: Moto Perpetuo Op. 11 No. 6: Violin: Instrumental Work

Masterworks for Violin Series for Violin and Piano. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Contains La Campanella, Op.7 and Moto Perpetuo, Op.11. Niccolò Paganini gave the premiere performance of his Second Violin Concerto at La Scala in Milan, 1827. The success of the performance was such that the last movement of the concerto was repeated. The subtitle of this movement is \'La Campanella\' (The little bell) because of the sound the harmonics in this work produce. Paganini known for his pyrotechnics uses double harmonics and left hand pizzicato lavishly in this movement. Moto Perpetuo is one of Paganini\'s most popular works. Dozens of transcriptions exist for a variety of instruments, from marimba to double bass, as well as for orchestra, where all first violins play the solo part. The 3,032 sixteenth notes in this four-minute composition require formidable skill and endurance from the performer. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Recueil / Violin et Piano

This fabulous selection comprises four of Paganini's earlier works for Violin and Piano edited by Jean Becker. With the exception of the Moto Perpetuo Op.11 these pieces are all composed using a 'theme and variations' structure. The colour and variety imbued within Paganini's writing for the Violin is truly inimitable and provides the accomplished violinist with the great challenge of realising this beauty through the technical virtuosity of the writing.The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert.
