• This book is a story about "Niccolò Paganini", who was an Italian violin virtuoso and could not have been buried in the grave for a long time due to the rumors for dealing with the devils to get his unbelievable musical talents. It is also an English version of my Paganini book, which had been already published in Korean. As I began to listen to the classical music, I became acquainted with the artists of classical music, and one of which was Paganini. When I first read Paganini's biography, I could not think of him as a psychopath and I did not get a good impression. However, my thoughts for Paganini had completely changed as I listened to his music. His music was so beautiful that I felt rather sad. I felt sadness, agony and loneliness underneath his music although they were even fast and bright. Then, Paganini became one of my favorite musicians.This book introduces various areas for Paganini such his life, interesting stories, lovers, musical instruments and works.In particular, by introducing films and paintings featuring Paganini, readers can also broaden their knowledge in areas other than music about Paganini. I also listed most of his music using QR code on the back of this book, and readers can enjoy his music easily with this book. Thank you.
