Paganini Caprice No.24 for erhu 帕格尼尼第24首随想曲二胡版

This piece is one of the hardest composed for solo violin. Some techniques used for this piece include: parallel octaves and rapid shifting covering many intervals, extremely fast scales and arpeggios including minor scales, left-hand pizzicato, high positions, quick string crossings,  and many double stops, including thirds and tenths.

For erhu, this piece is much easier to play. Its epicly fun. No double stops, chords, bowing nuisances, etc etc etc

If you do grade testing for erhu (like from the CCOM), you may be able to start practicing this piece at grade 8 or 9 (in my opinion). Included below are:

1) the sheet music (in western notation)
and
2) a video demonstration by the arranger (Sun Huang)

Note: use this for personal or educational use only!

The score is ripped from "High Level Efficient Erhu Performance Training (Sun Huang)" 二胡演奏技巧高效训练(孙凰编)

Please do buy the book...lol
The book includes lots of really good etudes, contemporary Chinese pieces, and western pieces for improving your performance skills, it's very professional and technical, so I'd recommend some experience before buying this method.

I bought mine from 先进国乐
