Letters to Paganini and Others, 1828-1844 | |||||||||||||
This subseries consists of letters that musicians, statesmen, royalty,
organizations, friends, and family members wrote primarily to Nicolò Paganini.
Unless otherwise noted, items in this series are holograph letters addressed to
Paganini, including a substantial amount of correspondence from Luigi Guglielmo
Germi, his close friend and legal advisor. A holograph letter from composer Gioachimo Rossini is also especially notable. Paganini’s connections with other musicians and artists are further documented in letters from violinists Carlo Bignami, composer Fermo Bellini, and scenic painter Filippo Zafforini. Also present are letters from royalty, including the King of Prussia Frederick William III, the Duchess of Parma Marie-Louise, Princess Louise Radziwill of Prussia, and Baron Anton von Doblhoff. Letters from the Berlin Institute for the Blind, Children’s Hospital Committee in London, the Committee of Polish Exiles in London, the Musical Society of London, and the New Musical Fund, among other organizations, offer further insight into Paganini’s professional associations. His familial relationships are also documented by a small number of letters from sisters Nicoletta Ghisolfi and Domenica Paganini. A photocopy of a letter from Princess Maria Luigi to Luigi Guglielmo Germi that legitimizes Paganini’s natural son, Achille, is of special interest. Other notable items are those from Achille Paganini to Marchese Lorenzo Nicolo Pareto, and letters from Paolo Lusardi to Luigi Guglielmo Germi. |
