Dutton & Company, New York, 1950. 520 $a Written with warmth and understanding, the present book on Paganini begins with his unhappy childhood along the wharves in Genoa and carries him straight through the tempestuous years when great genius and poverty waged an endless battle, which genius finally won. The boy gave his first concert at eleven, and his success was immediate and brilliant. The later years, however, were given over almost entirely to composing. His compositions were so exquisite and intricate that they became the despair of other musicians, as often only the master was able to play them. Added to a delightful story are some of Paganini's simpler compositions for the young music student to try. 700 1 $a Gillette, Henry S. 830 0 $a Great musicians series. 941 $a 1 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200314010615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1685A1BC65B911EA8125731E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
