24 Caprices for Violin (Rode)

The 24 Caprices for Violin, composed in the early nineteenth century by Pierre Rode, are a series of 24 caprices for solo violin. They cycle through the circle of fifths, presenting each major key and then its relative minor.

Violinists often use these caprices in training to develop technique.

In the middle of this caprice, the key changes to B-flat major, briefly back to B-flat minor, and then ends in B-flat major.

This caprice ends in D major.
