Though it is common knowledge that Niccolo Paganini was one of the greatest violin virtuosos who has ever lived, it is not as widely known that he was also an accomplished guitarist. He wrote many sonatas for violin and guitar, and he also included the guitar in several quartets and trios. Though he also composed many pieces for solo guitar, they are, unfortunately, of very little musical value and they certainly do not exploit the technical possibilities of the instrument in the same way in which Paganini exploited the violin's. These two short sonatas, extracted from his collection of sonatas for violin and guitar Op. 3, are not really sonatas in the classical sense at all. They both begin with a beautiful cantabile opening, followed by two short and fast movements of great technical brilliance. In the original scores the violin does all the melodic work while the guitar is relegated to very simple accompaniments. With these transcriptions it was my intention to create two solo guitar pieces by Paganini that would embody all of the charm and technical wizardry of his style.
