Caprice 14 (Niccolo Paganini) - Very difficult piece for violin played on the classical guitar!
This is my rendition on the classical guitar of the very difficult violin piece “Caprice n. 14", from the Italian violin virtuoso, composer and pioneer of shredding, Niccolò Paganini. This piece is part of his “24 Caprices for Solo Violin”, Op. 1.
Not many people know that Paganini was also very proficient on the guitar, having composed a collection of sonatas for it, which I intend to visit in the future. However, he never attempted to transcribe his Caprices to guitar, perhaps because of the limitations of the instrument at the time and arguably by their sheer technical difficulty.
The first well-known transcriptions was by John Williams (Caprice n. 24) and the most famous ones, by Eliot Fisk (he transcribed all the Caprices to the guitar). You usually find guitar versions for the caprice 24 and the caprice 5 on the Internet, and sometimes the 9 and the 16, but seldom the 14, perhaps the most difficult of them. On Youtube, there’s only Eliot Fisk’s (audio only) and my own, which is the only video proper. This is my own arrangement, based on the original violin scores, and it’s very different from Fisk’s version - which I found brilliant but too fast and nothing like the violin interpretations I know of this piece (eg.: Alexander Markov).

Always nice to hear a good acoustic performance to cleanse the musical palette. Excellent guitar technique... no finger squeeking which dominate my nylon string playing.
Glad you liked it! Thanks a lot!
