The French violin virtuoso Jacques Pierre Joseph Rode (1774-1830) was a favourite pupil of Giovanni Battista Viotti, whose concertos he often performed. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his final Violin Sonata for Rode. These 24 Caprices in all the keys were composed between 1814 and 1819 and have become a standard part of advanced violin study. This classic Edition Peters publication is an essential part of any advancing violinist's library.
