      The thing is most violinist actually skip this section, either because they've never noticed it or its "Too hard".
      I mean it has double harmonics, left hand pizzicato and a lot more yet its very virtuosic, beautiful and musically hard.

    Well, Paganini himself was actually a guitarist as well as a violinist, and his composition were done on a guitar as opposed to a keyboard. This is trully a great homage to Paganini.

Harpsichords and Pianos are very differents things, two instruments : Piano is not an instruments "family".

      Charles needs to answer this. He even has to play a piece that he admits he cannot play and show the failure, just to show that he's still a human, and there's a piece that is impossible on bass alone. Because if he can't, i don't think anyone else can

      Range wise, it has to fit on the instrument. I bet he transposed it to fit the range of the 4 string as best as he could (I noticed he needed a trigger to get a low note or two...and some harmonics to get the super high notes...)
