When he lived, he toured. When he died, he also toured. What an artist!

One of the other rumors was that he killed a woman and used her intestines as strings and trapped her soul in a violin.

Niccolò Paganini was such a gifted violinist, people thought he sold his soul to the devil. Some thought he was a metaphorical musical God, others thought he literally got his virtuosity from a deal with the Devil. Even during his life, a legend that he had sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his preternatural abilities was widespread. Paganini himself claimed that his talent came from a guardian angel, but his uncanny mien and infamous womanizing somewhat undercut his position. Niccolò Paganini earned the moniker The Devil's Violinist due to the astonishing prowess of his violin playing, which was often attributed to an otherworldly source, the devil himself.
In June 1834 Paganini was publicly accused of abducting Charlotte Watson, the 18-year-old daughter of a business associate in London.

If I remember correctly, he also didn't like these rumors because it dicounted his hard work

What an injustice and disrespect of the Greatest Musician Violinist Ever !!! Unfortunately the European Catholic Church has mistreated gravely many of the Greatest People throughout the History, to the point of torturing them and driving them to MADNESS!!! Musicians and Scientists, Artists and other very Progressive People have been murdered as well 😢😢😢😢

They managed to misspell his name on his monument. The name has two versions: single C and double C. His name was Niccolò, with double C.

His 5th Caprice is my all time favorite piece for the violin. I learned to play it on guitar.

Bro fighting for his life and wanted to positively think that he would survive his illness was accused of being in collusion with the devil smh

The procrastination meeting has been postponed... oh yeah and we'll bury that body later, too.

[raifjilani]

He worked had to become a great violin player but the devil got the credit for his work.

People who can play Paganini's god save the king/Queen composition:

I find it funny that every time a musician is particularly skilled, it's perceived as "THE DEVIL"

[christinakoria]

He’s the ghost violinist in my cellar. 🖤❤️‍🔥
