Overview
Henryk Wieniawski (1835–1880) was one of the greatest violinists in history, often compared to Paganini. His 8 Capriccios (Op. 10), titled L'École Moderne, are considered some of the most challenging and artistically significant works in the violin repertoire.
This 1977 edition from Editio Musica Budapest is particularly prestigious as it was revised by the legendary Hungarian violinist and pedagogue Jenő Hubay. In these capriccios, the second violin serves as an accompaniment, making them ideal for teacher-student practice or advanced chamber performance. Hubay’s fingerings and bowings reflect the traditions of the famous "Hubay School," focusing on a rich, singing tone and technical efficiency.

Why This Edition is Essential
- Technical Rigor: These capriccios address the highest levels of violin technique: staccato, saltando, complex double-stops, and high-position shifting.
- The Hubay Legacy: Jenő Hubay was a student of Vieuxtemps and Joachim; his editions are a direct link to the 19th-century Franco-Belgian and German violin traditions.
- Pedagogical Brilliance: Unlike solo capriccios, the second violin accompaniment helps the student maintain steady rhythm and intonation while navigating extreme technical difficulties.
- Print Quality: The Bach-format score provides ample space for the complex notation, ensuring clarity during intense practice sessions.
