Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this work did not live to see the final sheets in print. Although it has not received his revision, yet the book has had careful editing. Mr. Stratton did not undertake the Life of Paganini without adequate preparation. He had during many years thoughtfully studied the artist and his attributes, and became an acknowledged authority on the subject. He gathered from all available sources the most reliable information. Almost his last journey was a pilgrimage to Paganini's birthplace. This volume will exhibit his versatility, particularly the chapter giving the analyses of Paganini's compositions. It is therefore the most complete account of the greatest virtuoso recorded in the annals of music. Those who peruse this most interesting biography of Paganini, will naturally desire to learn something of the writer.

Book excerpt: "Our inherited image of Nicolo Paganini as a 'demonic violinist' has never been analysed in depth. What really made him 'demonic'? In fact, the many perceptions of Paganini as demonic - Faust, magician, devil, rake/libertine, Napoleon - were inter-related but not equivalent. This book investigates the legend of Paganini: separating fact from fiction, it explains how the legendary violinist challenged the very notion of what it meant to be a musician. An understanding of his violin techniques and musical ethos goes some way towards meeting this aim, beyond which an exploration of the wider cultural context is also presented. This book considers Paganini's performance innovations in the light of contemporary attitudes towards music and the supernatural, gender, sexuality, violence, heroism, masculinity, as well conceptions of power. A swirl of cultural factors coalesced in the performer to create that phenomenon of Romanticism, a larger-than- life Gothic villain. Because the mythology surrounding the violinist outlived and outgrew the man to monstrous proportions, so too did the idea of virtuosity inflate out of control, acquiring a potent, overwhelmingly negative aura in the process. An appendix brings together late nineteenth-century British press and literature coverage of Paganini that contributed to the developing myth surrounding the now famous composer and performer."--Publisher's description.

IS it worth while at this distance of time to refer to the actual playing of Paganini? Can one recall "the touch of a vanished hand?" This memoir would not be complete without some account of Paganini's art beyond that given in the story of his life. Here I do not venture to write as a violin expert, and I shall only quote from Guhr's "On Paganini's Art of Playing the Violin" --which is presumably still accessible to students--in so far as it may be serviceable to the general reader. Leaving aesthetic, and higher considerations generally, out of count for the moment and limiting our attention to matters technical, we find much that was absolutely new. As regards mere extravagance and eccentricity of execution, Paganini was surpassed by Locatelli. We have to take into consideration the concert-pitch in use at the time of Paganini's public career. That, I take it, corresponded very closely with the Diapason normal now coming into general use. Paganini employed thin strings, and, for purposes to be named presently, often tuned his violin a semitone higher than the pitch of the band which accompanied him--equivalent to the English pitch, or high pitch still in use in some places. These thin strings served another purpose--the easy production of harmonicsIf there was one thing more novel than any other in Paganini's playing it was the introduction of harmonics, melodies, double notes, and double shakes in harmonics. The natural harmonics were of course known to all violinists, but the artificial harmonics, if not the invention of Paganini, were first employed by him as integral features of his compositions as well as of his performances. Then there was his particular kind of staccato, produced by throwing his bow forcibly on the...

Excerpt: ... tary Sonata on the fourth string found much favor. A week later the second concert brought 1200. Paganini played a new concerto in B-flat minor, the Carneval of Venice, and Moses' Prayer. On Monday he reappeared with a new concerto; the receipts were 900. On the 16th he played a Cantabile which he had composed for two strings, a Rondo Scherzoso by Kreutzer and variations on La Cenerentola; at the fifth concert, which was announced to be the last, the hall was filled to overflowing; but this last concert was followed by ten further ones, announced as "the very last, positively the last, irrevocably the last," etc., (June 27th and 30th, July 4th, 15th, 25th, 27th, at the Opera, etc.) Finally, on August 20th, at his last appearance before the London public, he was "rapturously encored." The receipts for the fifteen concerts were 9000, two-thirds of which went to Paganini. In the meantime he had appeared at London Tavern (July 13th and 16th), and in several drawing rooms of the highest aristocracy (June 21st at Lord Holland's, etc.), and, moreover, he was not too proud to give special lessons, at enormous prices, to several ladies who were anxious to see him face to face, whom the Athenaeum had called "truly a Zamiel in appearance, and without doubt a demon in performance." Having an engagement at Norwich for assize week, Paganini left London for a few days toward the end of July. His manager, Pellet, "lost money," says the Harmonicon; "Signor Paganini pocketed about 800 sterling!" The receipts for the three concerts were 867, according to the same paper/1) It is said that King George IV. wished him to deduct 50 per cent, of the price of iioo which he asked for an appearance at Court, but Paganini replied that...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nicolo Paganini: A Biography There are certain names in history which attain universal popularity and have rare distinction of symbolizing a particular art or an entire epoch. Even the ignorant know them and use them to express a definite train of thought. What name more popular than Raphael's? Does it not typify perfection in the art of painting? Mozart's name in music has an equal standing. As to the name of Paganini - more even than that of Liszt, whose fame as a virtuoso for so long overshadowed that of the composer, - it has become almost mythical. "To play like Paganini," like this Paganini whose memory lives forever, is to the masses the highest praise which can be bestowed upon an executant musician. It is difficult to determine just when this widespread fame originated, especially in the absence of authentic documents; however, it can be positively stated that up to 1828 Paganini's glory was entirely of Italian making, his first foreign appearance, at Vienna, being the flash which lit the fire of enthusiasm in all Europe. Furthermore, it is difficult to retrace in detail the first thirty years of the artists eventful life, which, even before he left his native country, had been embellished by anecdotes of more or less authenticity.
