Niccolò Paganini - Caprice for Solo Violin, Op. 1 No. 24 (Sheet Music)

Vn: Salvatore Accardo

[Amira-bepj]

to be honest I think even Paganini didn't know what he was doing

[perlajurado]

And these caprices we're *warm ups*

[lilriceboy]

Paganini: what should I compose next.
Public: you know the sound that the gates of hell make when they open?
Paganini: say no more.

[christiek.]

Either Paganini’s hands were huge or he cheated and used a quarter size violin

[lonenexus]

I have a friend who thinks she's the best violin player on the planet so I printed the sheet music out for her and when she saw it she just stared at it for like 2 minutes and then just said "how?"

[VicMik]

Violinist Exist:
Paganini: I'm about to end this man's whole career

[Nibstapha]

What's most shocking of all is how this is actually possible by humans

[sergeivasilyevichrachmanin]

I just listened to this repeatedly while reading the 1.1k comments... I have now experienced the absolute depth of every emotion possible. I even lost weight! I can’t believe this entire experience was free. What a time to be alive.

[dorkbag]

The only reason I'm here is because YouTube recommended this to me and I thought this piece was named Capri sun

[smalph]

0:56 is the best part in my opinion it just sounds amazing

[braydinsisco]

Me: ooh let’s watch this for fun
Me after: WHY DID I THINK THIS WOULD BE FUN

[languagefun]

Pianists : At least we don't have to worry about Paganini.
Liszt : Good idea.

[guardianofthegalaxy]

I'm laughing on the outside and dying on the inside

[arcobow]

Yep...Paganini was indeed insane. I can't even fathom how this can be played, yet even written. Like how the fuck do you come up with that!?

[toprak]

If I lived in Paganini's times, I'd think he was the devil too.

[Marirrwq]

I wonder what Paganini was thinking while he was Witting

Paganini: i need to think of something that is humanely impossible but at the same time its not *Thinks of something that will ruin self esteem*

Paganini: i got it!

[Liletter]

Should it even be physically possible to play pizzicato that fast?

[jaelfalcon]

Put it on 2x speed and it just blows your mind

[fadlihermawan]

I can't believe there are people who able to play this incredibly difficult piece!
