24 Caprices Op. 1 Volume 1 (nos. 1-12) by Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840) transcribed for guitar by Theodore Norman. 'In freely transcribing these violin caprices of Paganini for the guitar, I was intrigued with the possibilities of exploring the relationships between the violin and the guitar. It is my hope to create a bridge between the two instruments. Paganini was a great player on both instruments and transferred specific ideas from the violin to the guitar and vice versa.'
