The 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 the violin, known all over 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, who was born in 1782. It is noteworthy that the father of little Niccolo was a loader and seller, but because of his love for music, he decided to send his son to this particular area. Nobody knew that after a couple of years the whole world would admire the works of Paganini.
At first, the composer learned to play the mandolin, and later - the violin.
There are many film incarnations that tell about the life and mesmerizing creations of Paganini. The violinist-composer also played the guitar, but his love for the violin began to develop from a young age. The first works of little Paganini have not survived, but he performed them as masterly as his later works. No one paid attention to the fact that Niccolo could write something with spelling errors, since his musical works were truly flawless.
The mysteriousness of the musician's notes is reflected in 24 caprices for violin, six sonatas for violin and guitar, 15 quartets for violin and also guitar. Also, sonatas, concerts for violin, waltzes and allegro managed to amaze the world with a variety of prancing notes, subtlety, restraint and at the same time boiling passion.
The great and virtuoso violinist died in 1840. In his will, he indicated that he did not want a magnificent funeral, and entrusted his violin to the municipality of Genoa, where it is kept to this day.
