Corigliano, The Red Violin Caprices for Violin (Schirmer)
Drawn from the haunting and evocative score of The Red Violin, the The Red Violin Caprices for Violin by John Corigliano, published by G. Schirmer, transforms cinematic intensity into a bold and electrifying solo violin work. These caprices distill the emotional and technical essence of Corigliano’s Academy Award-winning soundtrack into a set of fiercely demanding concert pieces that blend Romantic expressiveness with contemporary brilliance.
Rather than traditional caprices in the Paganini mold, these works fuse modern harmonic language, dramatic pacing, and theatrical flair, requiring the performer to command a vast spectrum of tone colors, extended techniques, and virtuosic agility. The result is music that feels both timeless and strikingly modern—lyrical one moment, rhythmically explosive the next.
