Remarkable Italian violinist and composer (1782–1840) generally regarded as the greatest virtuoso in the history of the instrument. Paganini’s striking appearance and seemingly superhuman skill on the instrument led many to believe that he was in league with the devil, an image he did nothing to dispel. His fiendishly demanding (and sometimes beautiful) works for the violin, particularly the Caprices, remain a cornerstone of the repertoire. ALS in Italian, signed “Your Niccoló Paganini,” one page, 7 x 4, August 11, 1818. Translated in full: “I pray warmly my dear Papa to give me his news as well as those of the Banti family, that I can never forget, and please accept the kiss of a loving son.” Letter has been backed with an identical size sheet. In very good condition, with some light vertical folds, some thin areas to page, and scattered light staining.
