The saxophonist David Hernando performing Caprice No.5, by Niccolò Paganini. Caprice No. 5 is one of 24 caprices for solo violin composed by virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini in the early 19th century. The piece is known for its fast tempo and technical difficulty.
Since Paganini, many variations on the theme have been written, most notably those by Jean-Baptiste Arban, Del Staigers, Herbert L. Clarke for the cornet, trumpet, and euphonium, Francisco Tárrega and Johann Kaspar Mertz for classical guitar, Ignace Gibsone and Louis Moreau Gottschalk for piano, and Giovanni Bottesini for double bass.

Romanza is an instrumental composition for guitar recorded by Andres Segovia in 1944, and again in 1967. The piece was credited to Niccolò Paganini, but based on themes from Paganini's Grand Sonata in A Major Op.39:II, arranged by Manuel Ponce. [1] The piece was also recorded by Julian Bream.
The first part shows the theme, requiring a player's ability of right-hand and left-hand bow control as it consists of arpeggios using either alternate adjacent strings or string jumping.
