	Niccolò Paganini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Niccolò Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy on 27 October, 1782, to Antonio and Teresa (née Bocciardo) Paganini.
		Paganini developed the set of concert variations for solo violin, characteristically taking a simple, apparently naïve theme, and alternating lyrical variations with a ruminative, improvisatory character that depended for effect on the warmth of his phrasing, with bravura extravagances that left his audiences gasping.
		Though Paganini's composition was not considered truly polyphonic (Eugène Ysaÿe once criticised, that the solo/instrumental accompaniment to Paganini's music was too "guitar like", lacking any character of polyphonism), he expanded the timbre and colour of the instrument to levels previously unknown.

	Nicolo' Paganini and gut strings: the history of a happy find
		First, it is not clear whether the notes (D, A, etc.) associated with each sample were actually named by Paganini himself, or whether that was what Hermann imagined (in which case Paganini might have merely enclosed the string samples without specifying either their notes or the instrument they were needed for).
		Paganini evidently knew what he was doing when he ordered the strings: he specially asked for canterelles of four strands (which would enhance the durability and limit the number of false strings) and he even went to the length of asking a trusted person to keep an eye on the Neapolitan string makers.
		Though this was less pronounced on the chanterelles (which thus gained in resistance to tension and fraying), there was a high degree of twist on the second and, above all, third strings, which worked only at a fraction of their breaking load and needed as much elasticity as possible to yield the best acoustic results.

		She was about seventeen years old at the time, and as she was educated musically she appreciated his playing and carried away a very, very vivid impression of it.
		This picture must have been taken shortly before Paganini's death, as he died May 27, 1840, and Daguerre did not discover his process of taking pictures till 1838, and it was not put to practical use till 1839.
		Instead of Paganini's "long slender hands" the picture gives us those of - to use a common expression - "a butcher's hands." The costume is obviously that of the late seventies, and the manner of displaying the medals equally so.
