Th
e Caprice d'Adieu
(autograph unknown) is
appended to Eduard
Eliason's Six Caprices
Caractéristiques
pour le Violon, Op. 12,
which was published in
Mayence by B. Schott in
1833. This piece, which
Paganini dedicated to
Eliason, is part of a
series of compositions
for violin solo that have
been widely ignored by
both performers and
scholars of the great
Genoese musician. It is a
composition whose size
and structure (A-B-A,
with two refrains)
follows the pattern of
some of his Capricci, Op.
1, but, unlike these
proper studies, the
Caprice d'adieu is
lighter and more lively
in character. Although
not as brilliant,
musically, as the
Capricci, it still
contains some original
musical ideas, mostly
articulated in two parts
with a few complex
technical passages and a
central, contrasting
section featuring
different dynamics and a
range of chords and
trills. This critical
edition is based on the
first edition and is
collated with the most
important nineteenth and
twentieth-century
editions.
