Correspondence, 1822-1844 (continued)
Letters from Paganini, 1822-1840
This subseries consists of letters that Nicolò Paganini wrote to musicians, statesmen, royalty, organizations, friends, and family members. These materials are written in Paganini's hand unless otherwise noted. A letter to the Duchy of Parma pertaining to the reorganization of the Ducal Orchestra of Parma is notable. Correspondence with German actress Amalie Haizinger, her husband and operatic tenor Anton Haizinger, and composer Antonio Pacini document Paganini's connections within the broader cultural milieu. Additional letters to Director of the Musee de Parma and the Teatri S. Agostino in Genoa document some of his performing activities. Other notable recipients include Paganini's friend and lawyer Luigi Guglielmo Germi, and his son, Achille Paganini. Approximately half of these letters are unidentified, some of which are incomplete.

This series is comprised largely of printed programs and playbills for concerts at which Paganini performed between 1828 and 1834. It contains a considerable number of materials from his numerous performances in England, including those at the King’s Theatre in London, the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, and other venues in Brighton, Bath, Drury Lane, and Vauxhall. His appearances at the Royal Redouten-Saale and Stuttgarter Hof-Theatre in Germany, as well as the Kärnthnerthor-Theater in Vienna, are also documented. One hand-written program from an unidentified concert in 1828 is also notable. The series contains a small number of programs and promotional posters for performances that took place between 1865 and 1937, after Paganini’s death, in Edinburg, Piccadilly, and London. These concerts and stage performances featured works that other composers dedicated to Paganini, including an opera and operetta.
