BOX 21, 23-26, 28-29 Publications, 1830-1967
This series contains books and magazine articles about Paganini that were published between 1830 and 1967, although most date from 1892 to 1938. These materials were published in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, and Norwegian. While biographies constitute the majority of these publications, they also contain a script for Count Alfred Hessenstein's play Paganini, Emil Kross's guide to performing Paganini's 24 Cappricio, and Harold Spivacke's article Paganiniana, which provides an overview of the history of the Library of Congress collection and its contents. Other publications focus on Paganini's stage presence, physical behaviors, and virtuosity. Pietro Berri, Siegfried Eberhardt, François-Joseph Fetis, Georg Harrys, Julius Kapp, Adolfo Artur Kuhnert, Renée de Saussine, and Jules Siber are among the other significant authors in this series.
Arranged alphabetically by author and title therein.
