Niccolo Paganini was a renowned Italian composer and violinist of 19th century. A genius, non-conformist, eccentric, unruly and a vagabond, he left an irrefutable mark on the history of instrumental music. One cannot go through the history of virtuoso performers without reading about Paganini for whom a chapter has already been created in golden letters. He was a violinist, a guitarist and a composer and one of the most distinguished virtuosos of his time. His technique and creativity was obvious in his compositions that made him one of the pillars of modern violin technique. Plagued throughout his life by illnesses, partly from birth and partly due to his extravagant lifestyle, he still became an inspiration and motivation for many composers and musicians, including Johannes Brahms, Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Robert Schumann. The capability to transform even his minuses into positives is exemplified in his three octaves that he played across four strings in a hand span using his long fingers. All this contributed in giving him a permanent place in the history of 19th century music.
