Pietro Antonio Locatelli’s L'Arte del Violino, Op. 3, is one of the most significant landmarks in the history of violin technique. This edition from Ricordi focuses specifically on the 25 Capricci, which were originally written as cadenzas for the twelve concertos within the Op. 3 collection. These pieces are renowned for their technical demands, pushing the boundaries of the instrument during the Baroque era and laying the groundwork for future virtuosos like Paganini. Whether you are a conservatory student or a professional looking to refine your technical mastery, these exercises offer a profound journey into high-position playing, double stops, and intricate bow work.
