Violin Concerto No. 1 (Paganini)
Niccolò Paganini composed his first violin concerto in Italy, most probably in 1817-1818. The First concerto reveals that Paganini's technical wizardy already full-fledged; in particular, contemporary audiences must have gasped at the quite extended passages of double-stop thirds, chromatic in some places but also sometimes in harmonics.
