BOX 2, 14, 17-18, 20-21 Clippings, 1818-1939
This series consists of newspaper clippings, the majority of which are advertisements and reviews for Paganini’s performances between 1828 and 1834. Other clippings include poetry, biographical sketches, accounts of Paganini’s lawsuits, obituaries, and a copy of his will. In addition, several price lists for concerts, receipts, and reports of profits offer insight into the financial aspects of his performances. A few clippings that date from after his death contain biographical and concert reviews, several of which perpetuate the myth that he made a deal with the devil in exchange for his talents.
Arranged chronologically and then by catalog number.
