Just to show you all how much of music fan I am; today I am going to celebrate the birth of the composer and violinist Nicolo Paganini who was born on this day in 1782. The Italian violinist is rumoured to have gained his talent as a result of a pact to the devil. Who knows he sure could play faster than most.As many of you may not be familiar with his work I have included a little video of Kirill Troussov playing Paganini Caprice 24, perhaps one piece of his work that is well known to people that stay up late and watch the South Bank Show.
