Paganini 3 Airs on the G string for Violin and Piano

Carulli (attr. Paganini): 3 Airs Variés — New Edition (Violin and Piano)

These 3 Airs Variés have long circulated under Paganini's name, and the Paganini connection still shapes how most people encounter them: the association with G-string playing, the early 19th-century virtuosic style, the kind of showmanship that defined concert violin in that era. Authorship is now generally credited to Gustavo Carulli rather than Paganini, but the music sits squarely in that tradition regardless of who wrote it. This is a newly engraved edition of the violin and piano version, with clean, well-spaced parts that are straightforward to read and mark up.

Key features

• Composer: Gustavo Carulli (formerly attributed to Paganini)
• Difficulty: Diploma / Professional
• Duration: approximately 10 minutes
• Format: PDF download, full score and separate violin part

This suits recital programmes exploring 19th-century violin repertoire, particularly where something in the early Romantic virtuosic tradition is wanted outside the standard concerto canon. It works well for diploma and conservatoire programmes where a less familiar showpiece is an advantage, and fits naturally into historical survey concerts alongside Paganini, Baillot, or Rode.
