Caprice op.52 No. 6 “After a Study in Form of a Waltz” (Caprice d’après l’Etude en forme de valse)
Composed by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921)
Transcribed by Eugene Ysaye
Edited by Ivan Galamian
Originally a virtuosic etude for piano by Saint-Saens, the Caprice (d’apres l’etude en forme de valse), Op. 52, No. 6 was transcribed and arranged for violin and piano by the great violinist Eugune Ysaye. As the extended title suggests, the piece is in 3/4 time, and employs many advanced techniques, including left-hand pizzicato and extended passages in double-stops (including octaves). A true showpiece, the Caprice really gives the violinist an opportunity to exhibit a wide range of technical skills. This edition contains markings by Ivan Galamian.
