Wow-- that's amazing stuff about Paganini. I went to Berklee College of Music (as a guitar player-- lots of Paganini exercises) but never knew anything about his view of improvisation, or his wild personal style. Fascinating. Great job on the research. Sounds like it was a pleasure :)
Thank you! That means a lot to me coming from someone who knows Italy and music (and lots of other stuff!). I only touched on a few connections but there are so many more. You're right—it was a pleasure writing this and I have even more to say. So, stay tuned :-)
