Frank Proto's Paganini in Metropolis for Clarinet and Orchestra draws its inspirations from the flamboyant showpieces composed for the violin by Niccolo Paganini, specifically the Caprice No. 24. Originally premiered in February of 2002 as Paganini in Metropolis for Clarinet and Wind Symphony, the work completes a series that Proto has written for three unique virtuosos - Trumpeter Doc Severinsen (Capriccio di Niccolo), Double Bassist François Rabbath (Nine Variants on Paganini) and finally Paganini in Metropolis for Clarinetist Eddie Daniels.
