I am No Paganini - PIP (Shorts version)

Picture-in-Picture 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴??? Yes. Here is the story of how he began composing pieces for a single string (always the G string, the lowest of strings on the violin). He was, for a time when he was young, head musician for Napoleon’s sister, the princess of Lucca, Italy. He fancied a young woman, and with this in mind wrote a piece called ‘duetto amoroso’ (love duet) in which he took off the two middle strings, leaving the highest and the lowest, which represented the female and male respectively. He told a love story on these two strings, which everyone in the audience clearly understood. Following this, the young woman said to him, “if you can do that on two strings, I’d like to see what you could do on just one”. He then composed his first piece for the G string, the Napoleon Sonata. He went on to compose many more, the most famous of which is the Moses variations. It was commonly said that he was much better on a single string than any other violinist on all four. With the use of harmonics, he expanded the range, pitch-wise, of the single string beyond that of a normally strung violin using regular notes. From Niccolò Paganini - 27 October 1782 – 27 May 1840) was an Italian violinist, violist, guitarist, and composer. He was the most celebrated violin virtuoso of his time and left his mark as one of the pillars of modern violin technique. His 24 Caprices for Solo Violin Op. 1 are among the best known of his compositions and have served as an inspiration for many prominent composers.
