Camillo Sivori - 'A Capriccio' 1837
Peter Sheppard Skaerved - Violin
I discovered this Sivori caprice in the wonderful Eliza Wesley album in the British Museum. It was not published in Sivori's lifetime, but it far from unknown: it was something which he tended to write into the visitors books of the salons at which he performed in his long career: there's a slightly more elaborate version to be found in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek.
Things to note: it is entirely based on the hand position (extended) that begins his teacher Paganini's 1st Caprice - and obviously, he couldn't help showing of his staccato, with the huge cascade down from high C# which ends the piece.
