L'École moderne - Études-Caprices
pour violon seul op. 10 (series A, vol. 6)
Wieniawski gave the studies Op. 10, as well as Op. 18, the title Études-Caprices. On the one hand, this suggests that the pieces were intended as exercises in violin technique; on the other hand, it brings to mind Paganini’s collection of Caprices, in which the didactic character of the pieces takes an artistic form. As a result, the Caprices Op. 10 , similarly to the Paganini set, can also be performed in concert. Thus, Wieniawski clearly had two aims in mind: that the violinist attains the highest level of technical mastery, but also that the compositions be performable as virtuoso concert pieces.
