Wieniawski / Francescatti – Two Caprices, Op 18 (Nos 4 and 5) – Violin and Piano – International Music Co

Description

The Etudes-Caprices, Op. 18, are among Wieniawski’s better known works for solo violin. Exacting and virtuosic, these brilliant pieces can simultaneously serve as technique studies for the violinist, or as spectacular performance pieces. They are also popular among advanced players as violin duos, with the second violin filling in the harmonies to the “pyrotechnics” presented by the first violin! Sometimes, as in this version, the Etudes-Caprices are played with piano accompaniment. Please note that this edition contains only Etude No. 4 in a minor and Etude No. 5 in E Major – NOT the whole set.

This edition for violin and piano is edited by Zino Francescatti and published by the International Music Company.
