Summary of This Score

This score gathers a major work around the 24 Caprices by Niccolò Paganini, presented here as a true monument of virtuosity for solo saxophone. In his introductory text, Claude Delangle (Professor at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris) recounts the origin of this musical adventure: initially experienced as a very personal experiment, performing certain Caprices on saxophone has, over the years, proven to be a formidable pedagogical and artistic lever for an entire generation of saxophonists.

Beyond performance, the interest of this score lies in the richness of the daily work it proposes. Each caprice becomes a high-level étude allowing refinement of instrumental technique mastery : management of wide intervals, clarity of attacks, breath stability, control of rapid transitions, and consolidation of the altissimo. This technical demand is accompanied by a constant musical objective: to bring long lines to life, build singing phrasing, and maintain flexible expressivity even in the fastest passages.

Designed for saxophonists already familiar with an advanced étude repertoire and the high register, this score is aimed at those wishing to take a step forward: develop solid virtuosity, gain endurance, and enrich their interpretation within a particularly formative classical framework. Paganini did not dedicate these pages solely to violinists but "to artists": a mindset that makes this collection a landmark stage in the journey of an ambitious musician.
