Classical Fact

Nicolo Paganini is remembered in legend as the greatest virtuoso violinist, ever. Some explained his extraordinary talent by claiming he had made a pact with the devil, a rumor that was fueled by Paganini's mane of thick black hair, his tall gaunt frame and piercing dark eyes. He was one of music's first superstars, drawing large crowds wherever he went and was the first musician to have an agent.
