There’s no shortage of editions of the Paganini Caprices, but the Bärenreiter URTEXT edited by Daniela Macchione stands apart for its scholarly rigor and clean presentation. If you want to work from a text that’s as close to Paganini’s original intentions as possible — without layers of editorial fingerings and bowings obscuring the source — this is the edition to reach for. Technically, these caprices are as demanding as ever. Musically, this edition lets you make your own interpretive decisions. Highly recommended for advanced students and performers.
