Description - Nicolo Paganini: His Life and Work by Stephen Samuel Stratton
"[...]nor is it desirable that we should; for his life conveys a moral that few can fail to discern. The artist is the child of his age. What kind of age was it that produced Paganini? A few years before he was born there came into the world one who was to set Europe aflame. The age was the age of revolution. Thrones tottered; armies devastated the Continent, and Italy became a mere appanage of the French Empire. The political upheaval was accompanied by a revolution in art. The romantic school in music arose, and Beethoven, Schubert, Berlioz, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, and Wagner, were the psychic results of the turmoil into which the world was thrown. Into such a world, already feeling the premonitory tremors of the great Revolution, was Nicolo Paganini born, at Genoa, on October 27th, 1782.[1] Plate II.-See Appendix. The Birthplace of Paganini.[...]."
