ALESSIO LESSIO NEBIOLO EBIOLO – RECITAL ECITAL ECITAL<br />

Nicolò <strong>Paganini</strong>’ s artistic personality is characterized by the dualism of his<br />

language, even underlined by his contemporaries (Liszt, Schumann, Berlioz).<br />

While he was able <strong>to</strong> make his instrument sing by an incomparable lyricism,<br />

often inspired by simple and pure melodies, on the other hand he could express<br />

an almost violent passion <strong>to</strong>gether with an unknown technical virtuosity.<br />

Somebody might think that he was possessed by the devil.<br />

Hek<strong>to</strong>r Berlioz, as many other important artistic personalities of that time,<br />

believed that <strong>Paganini</strong> played the guitar masterfully as well as the violin.<br />

In his pieces for guitar, we can find all the features of the above dualism.<br />

The suggested programme includes the better pieces written for guitar and,<br />

particularly the Ghiribizzi M.S. 43, the Sonates M.S. 84 and the Grande Sonata<br />

M.S. 3 for guitar and violin, this last played for solo guitar .<br />

The pieces for solo guitar by Nicolò <strong>Paganini</strong> are not so famous compared with<br />

the big composers’ of that time. Their recent edition, about 1980, could be made<br />

only after the incredible adventures that the manuscripts incurred before being<br />

bought by Italian Government in the Seventies.<br />
