24 Caprices for Violin (Rode)

The 24 Caprices for Violin, Op. 22, 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. They were first published in 1813.

Violinists often use these caprices in training to develop technique.
