Book Description
To his adoring public his violin playing was divine; to Holy Church he was of The Devil. Written and published as a screenplay, Diabolus in Musica tells the story of Niccolo Paganini, the world's first "music idol" and greatest ever violinist. After 40 years filling theatres across Europe, dies in Nice, Southern France, at the age of 58, his parish priest and embittered enemy, Romolo Caferelli, refuses him a burial and Requiem Mass, claiming that his mesmeric music came from a Faustian pact he made with The Devil, not his own genius. Contested by Paganini's illegitimate son, honouring a promise demanded of him by his father when Achille was five years old, the story of Paganini's life is told through a Papal Inquiry.

Paganini
Author: Maiko Kawabata
Publisher: Boydell Press
ISBN: 1843837560
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
"Our inherited image of Nicolo Paganini as a 'demonic violinist' has never been analysed in depth. What really made him 'demonic'? In fact, the many perceptions of Paganini as demonic - Faust, magician, devil, rake/libertine, Napoleon - were inter-related but not equivalent. This book investigates the legend of Paganini: separating fact from fiction, it explains how the legendary violinist challenged the very notion of what it meant to be a musician. An understanding of his violin techniques and musical ethos goes some way towards meeting this aim, beyond which an exploration of the wider cultural context is also presented. This book considers Paganini's performance innovations in the light of contemporary attitudes towards music and the supernatural, gender, sexuality, violence, heroism, masculinity, as well conceptions of power. A swirl of cultural factors coalesced in the performer to create that phenomenon of Romanticism, a larger-than- life Gothic villain. Because the mythology surrounding the violinist outlived and outgrew the man to monstrous proportions, so too did the idea of virtuosity inflate out of control, acquiring a potent, overwhelmingly negative aura in the process. An appendix brings together late nineteenth-century British press and literature coverage of Paganini that contributed to the developing myth surrounding the now famous composer and performer."--Publisher's description.
