Paganini: Caprice No. 6 (Shlomo Mintz)

you're absolutly right

Awesome!!! My favorite caprice.....

Mine also...and he play it sooo well!

caprices were meant to be etudes -.- just that great that it is mistaken as a showpiece.... read description, as poster of video agrees.

I am aware that it's an etude, but my philosophy is that all music, etude or not, should be treated as music, not a study. it shouldn't sound like technical practice.

I love the way the descending harmonic minor scale sounds. It stands out so much, even to my 20th century ears. Does anyone else feel that way as well? But I love the way it sounds, for Paganini to use it in a slow caprice was a wise decision, it is very effective IMO.
I enjoy Mintz's interpretation of Paganini's Caprices. His technique and body language are well suited to perform them.

also try chopin etudes and peludes, or bach WTC 1 preludes
ps: this song is really awesome and really much sheet ! :D

Very well put.

Itzhak Perlman's version is still my favourite but this one is just as melancholy and as eerie...
