With this new publication the 24 Capricci from "L'Arte del Violino" by Pietro Locatelli are available for teaching again. Their independence, extent and structure as well as their virtuosity earned them an exceptional position in the history of violin music which was later continued by Paganini's Capriccios. The score is preceded by a detailed introduction including performance and practice suggestions and referring in particular to important contemporaries such as Muffat, Corrette, Tartini, Geminiani, and Leopold Mozart. The present edition is based on the text laid down by the critical edition in the 'Opera Omnia'. Contents Introduzione Introduction Enführung Introduction Ventiquattro Capricci per Violino solo Op.
