Anca Vasile Caraman (violin)About
He started with the musical instruments he knew, like the mandolin (which he studied in his youth), the guitar (the six-chord one, which he never left), the grand viola (the five-chord instrument he had specially made) and the violin.
He chose the mixed form of the Caprice, so that he could be free to use counterpoint, harmony, singability (from his knowledge of opera), imitation and, most importantly, rhythmic and tonal variety. From the Caprices we understand Paganini’s familiarity with Rossini, his deep knowledge of opera and of its world, and with Berlioz. Many Caprices take inspiration from a range of orchestral sounds (the flute, the horns, the fanfare) or imitate the mandolin.
From a melodic perspective, the Caprices astonish for their uniqueness and beauty. From the harmonic point of view, they mesmerise: they are masterpieces and Schumann was among the first to recognise them as such.
