OTD in Music History: Legendary Italian super-virtuoso and composer Niccolo Paganini (1782 - 1840) makes his Parisian debut in 1831. It is hard to imagine a more star-studded audience than the one which assembled to watch Paganini perform for the first time at the Paris Opera House: Noted composers in attendance that fateful night included Luigi Cherubini (1760 - 1842), Giacomo Meyerbeer (1791 - 1864), Fromental Halvey (1799 - 1862), and a young Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) -- who would famously count that evening as one of the single most important musical experiences of his life. Also in attendance were a slew of famous novelists and poets -- including Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856), Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), Aurore Dupin (1804 - 1876, better known by her pen name "George Sand" and also for being Frederic's Chopin's [1810 - 1849] longtime girlfriend), and Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857). Indeed, the list of "celebrities" who paid up to 10x the normal entrance fee (!) to crowd into an opera house and watch Paganini perform could go on, and on, and on... Suffice to say, Paganini did not disappoint. After decades spent building up a name for himself in his native Italy, in 1828 the 46-year-old virtuoso finally took the plunge and embarked on an extensive international concert tour – beginning in Vienna and then slowly winding through nearly every major European city in Germany, Poland, and Bohemia. By the time he reached Paris in early 1831, Paganini was already being hailed as a musical conqueror before he ever played a note -- his reputation had preceded him, and the entire city was desperate to hear the greatest virtuoso in history... PICTURED: An original contract for one of Paganini's performances at the Drury Lane Theater during a subsequent 1833 tour of London. The terms of this contract were written out by Alfred Bunn (who served as director of the theater from 1833 - 1839), and then it was signed and dated by Paganini himself.

Je veux être la naissance et l'étoile

Je veux être ton regard.

Je veux conclure l'immensité    

jusqu’au bout consumer le lointain  

devenir l'absence, ce monde inaccentué.

Je veux être la pierre de feu qui frappe l'imaginaire en plein vol.
