- 24 Capricci, Op. 1 (1802 – 1817) Undoubtedly Paganini’s best work is 24 Capricci for solo violin, written in groups over several years. Like Ghiribizzi, each miniature is a study of a particular element: No. 1 is aptly nicknamed ‘the arpeggio,’ practicing rapid string crossings; No. 6 is, for obvious reasons, nicknamed the ‘trill’; whilst other names derive from the character of the piece.
- Violin Concerto No.2 in B minor, Op. 7 (1826) The second of Paganini’s violin concertos is among his most famous works. It’s more frequently referred to by the nickname ‘La Campanella’ (meaning ‘the little bell’) after the twinkling bell featured in every recurrence of the main theme in the third movement.
- Violin Concerto No.1 in D major, Op. 6 (1817) Paganini’s larger-scale orchestral works, such as the violin concertos, are often grand and dramatic affairs, with equally dramatic, exhibitionist violin parts.
- Moto Perpetuo (1835) As the title suggests, this one takes some serious stamina. Moto Perpetuo, translated as ‘perpetual motion,’ is an endless rhythmic rollercoaster performed at rapid pace.
