19EIGHTH GRADE.
21Of corresponding, difficult exercises for this highest grade, there are comparatively only a few. But in this respect the student, who has worked his way up to this height, has probably acquired sufficient experience to look around for himself in the realm of violin music, and depend upon his own judgment. I will mention as a study work only one which generally is regarded as eclipsing all others:
22Paganini. 24 Capriccios. (Breitkopf & Härtel Edition.)
24Of his work the writer of this article wrote in a treatise on Paganini, in a magazine some years ago: "Great, and a master work in every sense, are the 24 capriccios for violin. They are short and concise in form, but possess such a pronounced character, and document a source of such inexhaustible technical possibilities, that all that has been written since on the high-grade technic plan simply pales before this work."
