Wieniawski's specialties as violin virtuoso are represented in both the Capriccio-Valseas well as the Variations on an Original Theme. Sustaining triple and quadruple chords, cantilena in the highest positions, rapid string crossing, playing melody left hand pizzicato while performing bowed accompaniment, rapid on-string and off-string staccato, alternating right hand pizzicato with solid notes and harmonics are all examples of the technical virtuosity displayed.
