The composer proudly announces the new era of the virtuoso on his title page,\"Dedicati Agli ARTISTI\"; that is, his work is explicitly aimed at professional virtuosos rather than amateur musicians. Paganini's Caprices became the inspiration for a new era in instrumental virtuosity in general, and provided well-known themes for many works modelled on them, including by Schumann (1831), Liszt (1851), Brahms (1863), Szymanowski (1918), Rachmaninov (1934), Lutoslawski (1941) and Lloyd Webber (1977).","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093465747615,"sku":"11804","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Paganini_Caprices_First_11804a.jpg?v=1722188203","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/11804-paganini-nicolo-24-capricci-per-violino-solo-dedicati-agli-artisti-op-ia-first-edition","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
