Try No. 13; it's the first caprice I learned.

How about all of them? Not that I could do it, (cuz Paganini is insane) but someone has to be good enough.
Check out Paganini Caprice no. 5 - I'm guessing you're thinking about the famous one (24) but that's not the hardest lol
The only ones I've heard are 5, 21, and 24 though (21 is Ray Chen's encore piece <3)

I gave up on violin some time ago to focus more on piano, and I haven't really been very successful at that, and now I feel equally inept at both instruments.

The worst part is being financially independent = having no money to hire a tutor = having to guide yourself through practice = nigh impossible to improve.

My dream is to be able to play Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no.2 someday -- but I'm very, very far from achieving that and I wonder if I ever will.

Surprisingly, recordings of my practice made in the bathroom sound a LOT better than ones made in my room (the room ones sound really scratchy idk why)
