Virtuosic violin show piece?!
Question: Virtuosic violin show piece!?
when it says "one virtuosic show piece (by sarasate, wieniawski, kreisler, etc!.)" for violins, what pieces are considered as "virtuosic show pieces"!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
As the previous answerer mentioned, a virtuosic piece is a musical work which represents great difficulty to the performer!. One of the most famous examples of a virtuoso violin work is the set of caprices written by Niccolo Paganini!. These pieces are considered to be among the most advanced works ever written for the violin - which were considered to be only playable by Paganini himself when he performed them on tour!. One of the most popular pieces, "La Campanella"(which translates to "the little bell"), was transcribed for the piano by virtuoso Franz Liszt and is today one of the most popular pieces praised by concert pianists!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
