Niccolo Paganini 24 Caprices for solo violin (Markov, Gitlis, Kaler)

Niccolò Paganini wrote the 24 Caprices for Solo Violin between 1802 and 1817; they were published in 1819 as his Opus 1. They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento's Catalogo tematico delle musiche de Niccolò Paganini (published 1982). They have an étude-esque structure, with each caprice studying individual skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.)

Alexander Markov (born 1963) is a Russian American violinist who has received awards from the Paganini International Violin Competition (gold medal) and the Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Yehudi Menuhin has written "He is without doubt one of the most brilliant and musical of violinists…Alexander Markov will certainly leave his mark on the music-lovers of the world and in the annals of the violin virtuosi of our day".

Ivry Gitlis (1922) is an Israeli violinist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. His teachers include Carl Flesch, George Enescu, and Jacques Thibaud.
He has performed with the world's best orchestras, and many of his recordings are considered classics.

Ilya Kaler (born 1963) is a Russian violinist. He was born in Moscow.
Kaler is the only violinist to win Gold Medals at these three highly prestigious competitions: the International Tchaikovsky Competition (Moscow, 1986); the Sibelius (Helsinki, 1985); and the Paganini (Genoa, 1981).
