Niccolò Paganini wrote the 24 Caprices for Solo Violin between 1802 and 1817; they were published in 1819 as his Opus 1. They are also designated as M.S. 25 in Maria Rosa Moretti and Anna Sorrento's Catalogo tematico delle musiche de Niccolò Paganini (published 1982). They have an étude-esque structure, with each caprice studying individual skills (double stopped trills, extremely fast switching of positions and strings, etc.)
