Italian virtuoso violinist Niccolo Paganini is deservedly a citizen of the world, as well as one of those people who are associated with a magical instrument. This is a real genius of violin, known throughout the world among people who are fond of playing this amazing instrument.
It is impossible to imagine the history of music and the history of the violin without the name of Paganini, born in 1782. It is noteworthy that the father of little Niccolo was a loader and seller, but because of his love of music, he decided to send his son to this area. No one knew that after a couple of years the whole world would admire Paganini's works.
At first, the composer learned to play the mandolin, and later on the violin.
There are many film incarnations that tell about the life and bewitching creations of Paganini. The violinist-composer also played the guitar, but his love of violin began to develop from a young age. The first works of little Paganini were not preserved, but he performed them as masterly as his later creations. No one paid attention to the fact that Niccolo could write something with spelling errors, as his musical compositions were truly impeccable.
The mystery of the musician’s notes was reflected in 24 caprices for violin, six sonatas for violin and guitar, 15 quartets for violin and also a guitar. Also, sonatas, concerts for violin, waltzes and allegro managed to impress the world with a variety of jumping notes, subtlety, restraint and at the same time boiling passion.
The great and virtuoso violinist died in 1840. He indicated in his testament that he did not want a magnificent funeral, and entrusted his violin to the municipality of Genoa, where it is stored to this day.
