Paganini Caprice no 24 on marimba

Danish marimbist Anders Elten performs Johan Bridger's arrangement of the famous 24th caprice by N. Paganini.

I recently found this old (2017) video hiding on my Google Drive - the project was never completely finished, and unfortunately the resolution is a bit on the poor side. However, I thought it might be worth the upload anyway. I hope you enjoy!

Hello, Master, I am a student of a conservatory of music in China. Seeing the 24th pahanini thought song you released in youtobe, I really want to bring this work to China so that Chinese students can also play your work!

This is one of my favorite arrangements and I burst into tears once I heard you play, my heart swelled up with so much emotion I could not contain it. Please tell me the sheet music is available

[monicaclark]

Wow assembling and disassembing the instrument is quite the job.

Your "time sense", your touches, your colors... never listened at anything like this! In italian we can say: "TU SEI UNA SCINTILLA DI DIO".
