Student who enjoys good theatre
Funny thing is... I saw this done at the One-Act Play Texas Competition by a very talented company. I was intrigued by the beautiful language of Don Nigro, and became enchanted with watching the performance. Suprisingly, this play has been very hard to find; now that I've finally found it,I plan on enjoying this wonderful play centered around Paganini, violin virtuoso. I highly recommend reading this play, and look forward to finding some good monologue material inside.

P.S.- Hey Carroll.......See ya at One-Act!

A work of brilliance and the musician too!
There is no better way to capture the mysterious life of Nicolo Paganini...the man who could make one violin sound like ten, and whose powerful caprices sent theater goers mad. This was the first of Don Nigro plays I had read and it was delightfully edgy and audacious. I've never been fond of dark comedies, however this play broke the mold! It disturbed me and moved me with it's unexpected switches from humor to depth. It's language nearly melts from scene to scene, like poetry. Also this play means a great deal to me as I was able, and blessed enough,to perform in this play and our cast one a state-level championship with it. Our Directors brilliance Don Nigro's phenomenon, and the chilling music of Paganini's own musical peices made for one powerful production no matter who loved it or absolutely despised it. But more importantly, this masterpeice and our love for it soldered us together. Don Nigro's "Paganini" gets under your skin, it haunts you just as Paganini's demons haunted him. It is something you never can forget. ... Read more

Product Description
Paganini is considered to be the greatest violin virtuosos of all time. He was a virtuoso who relied on the astonishment that he aroused in those who heard him. One of the criticisms that he himself addressed to other violinists was that they failed to 'surprise' the audience. Paganini, on the other hand, succeeded, but to what extent? Much was due to the improvisational side of his music. Whenever he played, he was unable to perform a piece without enriching it not only with virtuoso embellishments, but also with accents and colouristic inflections. The true novelty of his violin idiom can be identified in the probing of the instrument's sonic potential and in the peculiarities of gesture. Perhaps he should be considered not so much as a virtuoso musician but as a representative of a new generation of composers for whom emphasis was a positive, constructive quality, whether it be connected to sound, gesture and improvisation or to 'technical' display. In this book, about thirty scholars investigate different aspects of the life and works of Nicolo Paganini and his relationship with the 18th- and 19th-centuries school of the Violin technique. ...
