Niccolò (or Nicolò) Paganini (October 27, 1782 – May 27, 1840) was an Italianviolinist, violist, guitarist, and composer. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest violinists who ever lived, although this cannot be verified as there were no recordings. Although nineteenth century Europe had seen several extraordinary violinists, Paganini was the preeminent violin virtuoso of that century—it was rumored by his contemporaries that he had sold his soul to the devil for his unbelievable ability. His best-known work is the 24 Caprices for violin
