About this ebook

Fodor made his reputation as a touring violin virtuoso but in spite of his star status he mainly composed duets for violin. Of the few solo works that exist, the caprices in this edition illustrate a solid musicality that harks back to the influence of his teacher Franz Benda.
The first three caprices were published and copied widely while the fourth has been restored from a sole surviving manuscript copy and marks the first republication of the piece in almost two hundred years.

Fodor gelangte als reisender Geigenvirtuose zu Ruhm, doch trotz seiner Bekanntheit als Star komponierte er hauptsächlich Duette für Violine. Eines der wenigen Solowerke das existiert, die caprices dieser Ausgabe, veranschaulichen seine solide Musikalität, die auf den Einfluss seines Lehrers Franz Benda verweist. Die ersten drei caprices wurden publiziert und kursierten weitläufig, während die Nummer Vier aus einem einzigen Manuskript wieder hergestellt wurde, und als erste Neuauflage des Stücks nach fast zweihundert Jahren gilt.

    Preface

    Josephus Andreas Fodor was the eldest of three brothers from a Dutch musical family and arguably the most prolific composer of the three with a tentative 127 violin duets, 42 quartets, and 19 concertos to his credit along with a small collection of works for different instruments. Carel Antoni, his youngest brother’s output rivals this with three symphonies, eight fortepiano concertos, an opera and a large number of chamber pieces. Carel Emanuelii, the second brother less so but his relatively early death compared to his two siblings may account for just one symphony, and a number of concertos and sonatas for keyboard. After his studies with Benda in Berlin, it seems likely that Josephus travelled
