It is an absolute honor for me to publish this edition of Paganini’s Capriccio no. 24. As Paganini himself wrote “dedicated to all artists” in the autograph fair copy submitted to Casa Ricordi for publication on 24 November 1817, I dedicate this edition to all flutists. My goal with this edition was to be as close as possible to the original violin part. I maintained the musical gestures by keeping octave relationships and voice leading, thus preserving the musical ethos.
