Nicola's Duel... over who gets the most expression out of their Paganini...
Niccolò Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy, on October 27, 1782, the third of six children of Antonio and Teresa (neé Bocciardo) Paganini. Paganini's father was an unsuccessful trader, but he managed to supplement his income through playing music on the mandolin. At the age of five, Paganini started learning the mandolin from his father, and moved to the violin by the age of seven. His musical talents were quickly recognized, earning him numerous scholarships for violin lessons. Viktor Tretyakov plays Paganini Violin Concerto with Estonian State Symphony Orchestra under conducting of Neeme Jarvi. Recorded in 1979
Although born in Genoa,it was Lucca that provided his early adult employment...above Lucca Frank Peter Zimmermann
