Niccolo Paganini was born on October 27, 1782, died on May 27, 1840, Nice - Italian virtuoso violinist and composer. When the boy was five years old, his father, noticing his son’s abilities, began teaching him music, first on the mandolin, and from the age of six on the violin. According to the recollections of the musician himself, his father severely punished him if he did not show due diligence, and this subsequently affected his already poor health. However, Niccolo himself became more and more interested in the instrument and worked hard, hoping to find yet unknown combinations of sounds that would surprise listeners. As a boy, he wrote several works (not preserved) for the violin, which were difficult, but he himself successfully performed them. Since 1793, Niccolò began to regularly play at services in Genoese churches. At that time, in Genoa and Liguria, a tradition developed in churches to perform not only sacred, but also secular music. One day he was heard by composer Francesco Gnecco, who began to advise the young musician. In the same year, he studied with Giacomo Costa, who invited Niccolo to play in the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, of which he was conductor Niccolo gave his first public concert (or, as they said then, academy) on July 31, 1795 at the Genoese theater of Sant'Agostino. do you want to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 channel views?
