Paganini, Wieniawski, etc., are mainly mediums of display. Most of the great violinists, Ysaye, Thibaud, etc., during recent years are reverting to the violin sonatas. Ysaye, for instance, has recently been playing the Lazzari sonata, a very powerful and beautiful work.
"The wind that shakes the barley, ye divil!" cried she. Triplet went hors de lui; he played like Paganini, or an intoxicated demon. Woffington covered the buckle in gallant style; she danced, the children danced. Triplet fiddled and danced, and flung his limbs in wild dislocation: the wineglasses danced; and last, Mrs.
I expected better things of YOU. Let me tell you that a hair-dresser, I don't say a good hair-dresser, for a man is, or he is not, a hair-dresser, a hair-dresser, I repeat, is more difficult to find than what shall I say? than I don't know what a minister? A Paganini? No, he's not great enough.
Henrietta Sontag, the celebrated singer, heard him play Spohr's ninth concerto and "The Carnival of Venice," and was so charmed that she said he would become the German Paganini.
Locatelli displayed originality and genius in his compositions, and his studies, "Arte di Nuova Modulazione," was studied by Paganini. Visconti, of Cremona, who was taught by Corelli, is said to have greatly assisted by his counsels the constructive genius of Antonius Stradiuarius in making his magnificent instruments.
Sir Charles Hallé tells about seeing Paganini in Paris, where he used to spend an hour every day sitting in a publisher's shop, "a striking, awe-inspiring, ghostlike figure." Hallé was introduced to him, but conversation was difficult, for Paganini sat there taciturn, rigid, hardly ever moving a muscle of his face.
People professed to be as much charmed with his lack of pretension, his naive and simple manners, as with his musical genius. Yet no man was more exacting of his rights as an artist. One day a court concert was announced at the Tuilleries, at which Paganini was asked to play. He consented, and went to examine the room the day before.
Well, after Daisey's dance will come Señor Collenso's violin solo, selection from Paganini. Then will follow the talented young Gotown lawyer in a dissertation on Shakespeare, and also inform them about the mill between Richard and Richmond. Smith, have you all that down?" "Every word of it."
It argues well for the literary taste of this country, by cherishing acquaintance with continental literature, and thus strengthening our resources at home. Nicolo Paganini was born at Genoa, in February, 1784.
On the other hand there are Tartini, Nardini, Paganini, Kreutzer, Dont and Rode they still live; and so do Ernst, Sarasate, Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski. It is men such as these who always will remain violin 'masters, just as 'violin mastery' is defined by what they have done."
