Paganini's Caprice No. 24

This is a clip from the film, The Devil's Violinist. This may be my favorite music scene of all time! I absolutely love it! The film is about the Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini. Paganini is considered the greatest violinist of the 19th century. Playing Niccolò Paganini is the German violinist David Garrett. I am a huge David Garrett fan! This scene inspired me to learn the violin. Let me know what you think.

Well you can't only buy and use part of it. That new hood slang is the worst

[@ZalemMoon]

@@dongiano What the "hood slang" 🤮 means is that most people will never truly utilize an instrument to it's fullest extent and Paganini is one of the few who does. It's not difficult to understand.

[@aiyannajacobs2831]

um.. as a violinist yes you can if you dont use all aspects of the violin and just play scales you wouldnt be using it to its full potential especially is you only play in first position as many do that using the whole violin utilizes pizz, harmonics, chords, aswell as getting into the higher register and so much more pagannini caprice 24 is an excellent example of using the whole violin, and that is not "hood slang"@@dongiano

Paganini was the equivalent of a Punk Rocker at the time. He used chords and melodies that were only supposed to be allowed for the church and put it in "common" music. Which was super metal. The church did not like it.

Better than when he played in orchestra live. Film is much much better IMHO. Just love this presentation.

[@christopherko475]

This guy had the tastes of a modern rock star with the exception of his time unlike ours. His music, his style…

[@dongiano]

Part of the reason people were so in awe with his skill is because nobody really plucked violin strings, they pressed them. Him pressing, plucking, and the bow is part of what made him so amazing

[@Ilya13k]

Я английский только начал изучать, извините. Бабушка помогла перевести.

[@M0du5Pwn3n5]

Plucking was relatively rare, but not unheard of (it's still relatively rare). What makes Caprice 24 nuts is that he's plucking with BOTH HANDS. It's hard to see if you don't know what's going on, but you can't pluck a violin that fast with just your right hand doing normal pizzicato. Caprice 24 involves left-handed pizzicato, which was practically unheard-of, and is still extremely rare. So your right hand plucks the strings while your left hand both fingers the notes AND plucks the strings. Paganini's Caprices were not just amazing for their time either. There are certainly a lot more people today who can play Caprice 24, but that's mostly just because competition for music schools and orchestra spots has become so fierce. It's still among the hardest existing pieces of violin music.

[@dongiano]

@M0du5Pwn3n5 I feel like a schmuck now because I didn't even realize that he was doing that. Watching it again, I do, but initially I didn't realize he was using both hands to pluck

[@traceyxxrose7454]

The song is not written as plucking with both hands…… it’s written as staccato with the bow and a hammer on and pull off with the left hand to make a unique sound. It’s not pizz with both hands. You can watch Hillary Hahn do it the correct way as this is not it…

[@deralt4935]

I honestly wish playing the violin in modern times would be as seductive as Paganini in the film is making it seem.

[@donalddade5643]

From the fawning fangirls to the contemptful violinists in the orchestra to the violinists in the audience just trying to figure out what he was playing, the closest thing we have to Paganini today is truly Yngwie Malmsteen.

[@collumjiggas]

Have a gander at paul gilbert and Joe Stump

[@donalddade5643]

@@collumjiggas I see your point, but with many of Joe Stump's songs, it is obvious which Yngwie song inspired it (so strongly that one might be tempted to use the term rip-off), and while Paul Gilbert has got the most impressive chops, he isn't as purely a neoclassicist like Yngwie. I'd mention Impelleteri before Gilbert.

[@kreatorsepultura6818]

JASON BECKER

[@donalddade5643]

@@kreatorsepultura6818 You are not wrong. But I find Becker and Friedman to be sort of like Shakespeare's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: There's really no reason to distinguish one from the other... For that reason, I can't see Jason Becker as being a tremendous influence on the whole of the rock guitar community when he wasn't really even unique within his own band. As much as I like Paul Gilbert, the same might be said about him and Bruce Bouillet. But I admit Jason wasn't just all chops... he played some nice tasty stuff and didn't really get credit for his musicality, in the same way that people who haven't really listened to much Malmsteen sometimes critique him, too.

Magnificentl orchestra with excellent musicians with filigree technique and perfect game. Thank you for a magical music and pleasure that you bring to your fans. Your concerts holiday bright music and unforgettable spectacle. Stunning success!!!🎻🌹

[@ShredmasterX]

Back then classical music was for the people what modern music is to us today. They usually cheered during and between movements. In fact, oftentimes musicians like Paganini only performed the first movement of a concerto as it was the most popular part. And they usually ended their performances with salon pieces to show off with their skills. Furthermore, artists such as Mozart or Beethoven improvised a lot (cadenzas, for example). I guess, all the classical composers would be somewhat shocked to see how the conservatory-trained musicians of today replicate their music note for note without adding anything personal to the compositions. Unfortunately, most of them were not able to do that anyway as they had never learned to improvise. And they would never dare altering one single note, either.

[@josebuylla164]
