BOX 3, 10-12, 17, 19-22 | Personal Papers, 1827-1847 | ||||||||||||
This series consists of awards, contracts, financial papers, invitations,
notebooks, poetry, cards, and miscellaneous fragments pertaining to Paganini’s
professional activities and personal life. The so-called Secret Red Notebook is
well known and contains extensive biographical information, tour dates, financial
notes, address lists, prescriptions, recipes, a laundry list, and poetry. Paganini
never allowed others to view the notebook, which resulted in the false assumption
that it contained the key to mastering his unparalleled technique. An account book
and two pocket calendars are also valuable sources of information about his
European tour. Among the financial papers are bank statements, receipts, and records documenting the number of seats sold at his concerts. A number of awards, two of which Frederick William III, King of Prussia, signed, further confirm his widespread popularity across Italy and Austria. Invitations for performances in Hanover, Magdeburg, Breslau, Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Paris, and America also attest to his international renown. Additional items document his tenure with the Parma Orchestra, as well as his final illness and death. |
