   Paganini Caprice #11
    (transcribed by Paul Dearhouse: dearhous@pilot.msu.edu
    feel free to write me with corrections, comments, or suggestions)
    This is a slower caprice by Paganini, from his 24 Caprices. It is also
    one of the more beautiful sounding, in my opinion. The tempo is slow,
    and I have only transcribed the first slow section. A second, faster
    section follows this one, which is then followed by the slow section
    again to finish the caprice. I  have included chords below the TAB,
    and comments are on the top.
 
 
   CAPRICE #11

    NOTE: The chords sound best when you "strum" them with your fingers,
          where each note is a little offset from the other. For example,
          the last flourish before the ending could be written as:
 
                                                          hold....

   E----------------------------------------------------4--------------
        C     Dm7  C/E   F    F7   D7   Gm   C7   F     G#dim?
 
 
       ...but since it was easier to write the TAB with the chord notes
          right on top of each other, I just did that to save space.
          Well, that was just a tip or suggestion, HAVE FUN!
