About This Song

About "24 Caprices for Violin, Op. 1, MS. 25 : Paganini: 24 Caprices for Violin, Op. 1, MS. 25: Nicolo PAGANINI : Caprice op.1 n° 24 pour violon seul" by Salvatore Accardo

Paganini's 24th Caprice is a tightrope walk over a volcano—Accardo's violin spits fire and ice in equal measure. Each variation tightens the screw of virtuosic tension, from brooding theme to frantic leaps. The calm of the opening melody gives way to a thrilling, almost dangerous unease.
