No question, Niccoló Paganini was a genius. But how did he become this superstar of past times? Where did the fascination about his music and his person come from? The life of the violinist was not always simple: he struggled with several illnesses his whole life, critics didn’t like his posture, and there was the recurrent suspicion of murder which followed him all his life. Nevertheless he was able to push his audience to frenzy when he played. The first rockstar of his time. Christina Geiselhart describes in her biography the ups and downs of this gifted musician, who had the whole world at his feet.
»His hair was sticky, his clothes were sticky, his legs were shaking weakly, but in his fingers life was pulsing, in his head the score was glowing bright, in his heart the music was dancing.«
»The ecstatic movements of the devil’s fiddler Niccoló Paganini put the masses to frenzy in the 19th century.
Christina Geiselhart succeeds also today when she reads from her biographic novel „Paganini - the devil’s fiddler".«
Bild am Sonntag
»Niccoló Paganini, wild fellow. We might have been friends and would have put together a grand show. He probably would have been in
the neighbourhood to drink some beer. Christina Geiselhart did her research all over Europe for half a year and wrote an exciting book
about his crazy life, his wild tours. You have to read it! You will not be disappointed!«
preface by Udo Lindenberg
»„Paganini - the devil’s fiddler" is a well researched biographic novel on the most brilliant musician of the 18th/19th century in
the context of the unsettling political background of a nation towards unity.«
