Menuhin Caprice (for unaccompanied violin) MO177
Violin Solo
Music by Mark OConnor
9 pages - 7:00 minutes in length
Menuhin Caprice for unaccompanied violin by Mark OConnor was commissioned by the 2020 International Menuhin Violin Competition. It was a compulsory piece for the semi-final round. Receiving great interest to all of his caprices from performers, teachers and students of the violin, OConnor has contributed music here which will challenge even the most gifted virtuoso. OConnors caprices, like Nicolo Paganinis and Pietre Locatellis, push the violin into a new direction, musically and technically, furthering the possibilities of the instrument. Menuhin Caprice features demanding techniques which are desirable for study purposes, and at the same time, are accessible to concert audiences. The violinist will find passages containing complex rhythms, broken chord arpeggios, various spicatto and double-stopped runs. In addition to these specialized skills, the violinist must master the works driving and aggressive rhythms in order to perfect the performance of them. Appropriate for the advanced student but isolated selections could be valuable for the intermediate.
