Nicol� Paganini - Biography

Nicol� Paganini, the greatest violinist of his time, was born on 27 October, in Genoa, Italy. He began playing the violin at the age of seven, and his talent was quickly recognised by his father, a shipping clerk, who, according to Nicol�, starved him if he failed to work hard enough.

Much of Paganini's early career was spent in Lucca, at the court of Princess Elisa Baciocchi, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, with whom it is said he had an affair.

In his debut recital at La Scala, Milan was a resounding success. In spite of this, it was not until that the maestro was confident enough to embark on a foreign tour.

From his very first concert, in Vienna, he received ecstatic public acclaim. Audiences found his technical wizardry, blazing eyes and demonic energy hypnotic.
