Over mountain and sea, and through dark forests with legends of streghe and Zingari, these semi-outlaws of society, the Neapolitan and Rommany, recognised each other intuitively. The handsomest young gentleman in England could not have interested these handsome young sinners as the dark-brown, grey-haired old vagabond did. Their eyes stole to him.
Few compositions ever attained such fame as the "Streghe," of which the theme was taken from the music of Süssmayer to the ballet of "Il Noce di Benevento."
Then followed a 'Russian Air, with variations, by Lafont, and I finished the concert with my variations called 'Le Streghe. Lafont probably surpassed me in tone; but the applause which followed my efforts convinced me that I did not suffer by comparison." There seems to be no question that the victory remained with Paganini.
Wonderful Success at Milan, where he first plays One of the Greatest of his Compositions, "Le Streghe." Duel with Lafont. Incidents and Anecdotes. His First Visit to Germany. Great Enthusiasm of his Audiences. Experiences at Vienna, Berlin, and other German Cities. Description of Paganini, in Paris, by Castil-Blaze and Fetis. His English Reception and the Impression made. Opinions of the Critics.
