Paganini, and the composer is featured throughout our new issue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth.
Elsewhere, there are masterclasses on how to get the best out of the thumb and how to prep for a performance, as well as step by step lessons on works by Mozart, Farrenc and Rachmaninov. There are also 40+ pages of scores to get stuck in to, including works by Casella, Beach, Joplin and others.
