about

Caprice No. 24 is without a doubt one of the outstanding works of the celebrated virtuoso violinist, Niccolò Paganini. An arrangement of this piece by Mikhail Mchedelov is more of a reworking than a mere transcription of Paganini's work. Here, I have sought to draw on Paganini's musical text while associating the harp's technical feats to those of the violin as revealed in each of the variations. A number of effects are used: bisbigliando, harmonics, arpeggios . My purpose was to preserve the authenticity of the tour de force expressed in this exceptional work. From a technical standpoint, this arrangement requires the harpist to tackle difficulties similar to those of a violin: jumps, rapidity and velocity. Only when it comes to accuracy can the harp easily outstrip the violin, provided it has been properly tuned at the outset!

Le 24e Caprice est certainement une œuvres phare du violoniste virtuose et vedette qu’était Niccolò Paganini. Il existe un arrangement de cette pièce, réalisé par le russe Mikhail Mchedelov, qui est plutôt une réécriture de l’œuvre qu’une transcription. Ici, j’ai voulu faire l’exercice de m’inspirer du texte musical de Paganini et d’associer les prouesses techniques de la harpe à celles du violon exposées dans chacune des variations. Plusieurs effets sont utilisés; bisbigliando, harmoniques, accords arpégés. J’ai ainsi voulu préserver l'authenticité du tour de force exprimé dans cette œuvre exceptionnelle. Techniquement, cet arrangement demande au harpiste de travailler des difficultés similaires à celles du violon: sauts, rapidité, vélocité. Il n’y a qu’au niveau de la justesse où la harpe peut gagner facilement; à condition de bien l’accorder au départ!
