Biography of the violin virtuoso

One of the basic romanticism, laid the foundations of modern-dimensional violin technology. The first of the violinist to play in concerts by heart. Since the year, Genoa has been held an international violin competition. Paganini played great on the guitar. He said: "I am the king of the violin, and the guitar is my queen." Playing these two instruments, which seemed to have nothing in common, he transferred many guitar receptions to the violin, and the violin-based receptions to the guitar.

Guitar techniques were affected primarily in the technique of pizzicato and double flagelets, in a coherent game by chords, as well as in the paganini, restructuring the lower string of salt and increasing the construction of the violin. Niccolo Paganini wrote more plays for a guitar, 25 duets for guitar and violin, 4 trio, 9 quarters for bowing instruments with a guitar.

The guitar in the quarters of Paganini often competes with the violin, playing the same role as the violin. These sonatas are correctly attributed to the best part of Paganini's composer heritage. According to contemporaries, the brilliant musician owned a guitar with the same unlimited virtuosity as the violin, but rarely used complex technical techniques in his compositions for this tool.

The story of a guitar enthusiasm, as well as much in the biography of Paganini, is covered with a romantic fleur. Since this episode from his life is known only on the basis of his own recording of the great Italian, who was informed by him at the end of his life by his biographer, and there is no other documentary information, then the measure of the truth of an autobiographic note remains on the conscience of Paganini himself.

In his young years, when he was 19 years old, he, having received independence for the first time, worked hard and reaped the first triumph in the field of violin-virtuoso. He lost the money earned at the cost of tremendous labor at night and was on the verge of physical and moral source. A kind of noble lady from Tuscany provided a kind of mercy to a brilliant young man.

She secretly covered him on her estate and for a while, on the recommendation of a doctor, separated from the violin. Thanks to his patroness, Paganini was able to subsequently surprise the education of contemporaries, because at his disposal was a rich library, to which he mastered almost all. His hostess excellently owned the guitar, and the passionate enthusiasm of Paganini switched to her beloved instrument, which he mastered in perfection.

The idyll lasted three years. Obviously, during this time, both the hostess of the estate and the young artist were quite fed up by the Rosa of the "paradise" life. In the year, Paganini returned to the path of the concert "Suprikripach." But he never parted with the guitar, playing music on it in the chosen circle of friends. He, from deep reverence, kept his name in secret.

Such is this story in the only "author" version. The paganins created by the violin and guitars belong to this period of his life. The same great gift of the melodist is heard in them, which is so fully manifested by the author in such violin masterpieces as 24 Caprice, Cantabile, Campanella.

These works belong to the best examples of the Italian sonata genre in the application to the ensemble of violin and guitar, probably two of the most “romantic” instruments.
