What have these elements in common?
They are the three most important pieces for instruments in solo literature, the composers who, with their compositions, came closest to going beyond the impossible. Demanding, insurmountable challenge.

In what way do they differ? Chopin, Paganini have for decades been in pianists and violinists concert playlists, while Popper is an object of study and curiosity only of violoncello players: his music involves a high margin of error and too modern a language, bound to the late-Romantic era of Wagner. Enough to hide such precious inventions, harmonic situations of melody and sonority, from the public's enjoyment.

Vito Paternoster has taken these studies and made concert pieces out of them. A challenge, some small readjustments and they've become not studies, but music. Alive music.
