24 Caprices for Violin (Rode)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 24 Caprices for Violin, Op. 22, composed in the early nineteenth century[1] by Pierre Rode, are a series of 24 caprices for solo violin. They cycle through the circle of fifths, presenting each major key and then its relative minor.[2] They were first published in 1813.[3]
Violinists often use these caprices in training to develop technique.[1]
