Paganini: 24 Caprices for Viola URTEXT by Nicolo Paganini Viola Solo - Digital Sheet Music

 
The 24 Caprices by Niccoló Paganini were written between 1802 and 1817 for Violin solo. The URTEXT version presented for Viola solo, was adapted, edited, and transcripted by Roisber Narváez, starting from the manuscript and the first editions printed when the composer was still alive. Transposing in an interval of a perfect 5th descended was essential for the adaptation of the viola, for that reason, C-clef prevail the most part of the time as possible to facilitate the study and reading of the player, however, those passages or high register excerpts that are not in conjunct motion were written in G-clef, as long as the height of the notes surpasses the B5, sections that moves in conjunct motion in an ascending movement that reaches or surpasses the C5 are also in G-clef. The octave (8ve) superior line in C-clef has been exclude, and in its place, the notes were written in their real height register in G-key in order to provide better comfort. Also, some suggestions and possible solutions of the editor were placed in parenthesis, as well as: ligature, articulations and accidental notes. One of the aspects of this edition is that the fractionals-stem bars has been placed in a straight – horizontal pattern to avoid overload of visual noise. In case of caprice number 6, it has remained the original writing of the autograph. In spite of being an Urtext unfingered edition, the only ones that can be found are the proper ones of the composer and it offers and spacious design that allows to add fingerings and personal bowings.
