About this book
The violinist's public reputation and the work behind it share the stage in Stephen S. Stratton's biography of Nicolo Paganini. Beginning with his Genoese childhood, the book follows his career through Italian tours, continental appearances and visits to England. Its chapter plan also makes room for his playing methods, compositions and relationships with other musicians, giving readers several ways to approach the performer.
Stratton writes as a music critic interested in the excitement Paganini generated and the arguments surrounding his art. The account of his friendship with Hector Berlioz includes a meeting after a successful concert and Paganini's request for music for his Stradivari viola. Alongside the anecdotes are discussions of technique and musical works.
