Goethe commented that Pagnini "shows a fire-like soul on the strings". The Parisian was intoxicated by his vocals and forgot cholera that was popular at the time. In Vienna, a blind man heard his vocals and thought it was the band was playing. When they learned that this was just the sound of an Italian named Pagnini playing the violin, the blind yelled, "This is a devil!". The text is intended to emphasize Paganini:. ['Passion like fire.', 'Devil-like performance.', 'Super imitation.', 'Superb performance.']
