    In this video I will be taking you to 19th century Italy where Niccolo Paganini would shock the word with his amazing skills with the violin. He was an Italian Violinist and composer and was the most accomplished and celebrated musician of his time, he is also arguable the greatest violinist to ever live and was considered to be a musical genius. But it was rumoured that he had made a deal with the devil, acquiring magical powers that allowed him to master the instrument beyond the reach of anyone else. This is his story.

    Paganini was history's first true Rockstar. He truly lived that life

    "He would later describe his guitar as his greatest companion." From a fellow guitar player, that was an automatic like from me and a smile.

    I think jealousy is what caused so many people to despise him. He was 1 of the world's greatest musicians of his time and people are hateful and despicable when it comes to geniuses, the 'selling of the soul to the devil' is common to disparaging such gifted individuals. I would have loved to have seen him in person at 1 of his concerts.

    Somewhat similar to the Robert Johnson story.

    What such an excellent story.. when I was a child I heard about Paganini and I was shocked! About its talent and the so called pact. Thanks for the upload and lovely image's

    He lived a very faced paced lifestyle so it's easy to see why some would think he'd sold his soul to the devil in order to achieve all he had in such a short span of time. Shame because Niccolo clearly had massive talent.

    I went to private school in Brunei for elementary. They had an assembly with a visiting violinist who told us about Paganini and his deal with the devil. I’ll never forget that music or performance. Thanks Ollie for this upload. 🙌

    He lived a rock star life really, very controversial indeed! I am sure he liked to shock people with his life style, and clearly super intelligent with such great musical skills.

    What a Great story, the sacrifices of a man to Master such a beautiful instrument. Even if he did sold his soul his sacrifice inspired more opportunities for the New Generations. He won't be forgotten for his work
