character portrait of Paganini IN
Edward Knoblsuchs play OF the
same name. In the Palasso Munich
pale in Genoa under a glass case
and preserved in a strong safe re
poses the famous Guarnerius violin
of Paganini. This superb instru
ment. bequeathed to his native city
by Paganini, has been most care
fully preserved by the civic author
ties. II Is stated that s25 900 has
been offered for II in vain. The
violin has only twice been heard IN
public since Paganinis death. On
both occasions it was played by his
favorite pupil. Sivori. A descrip
tion of the instrument dwells on
the manner in which the violin Is
worn away by PaganinPs peculiar
manner of playing. The patch by
the side OF the tailpiece and the
smoothness Of the back tell OF the
force with which he held the in.
strument in high and pizzicato pas
sages and accounts for the long
groove down the side of the finger
board, the broad patch at the side
of the neck on the table of the in
strument and the wearing away OF
the edges Of the curves of the VIC
lin. With the violin are the bow
and the case.
