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.
