The 18th-century city where Niccolo Paganini was born was called Janua. In the present day, the name of the city is Genoa. He started giving public performances at age 9. Paganini’s first debut was in Milan in 1813. He wrote sonatas, caprices, and six violin concertos. Some of the best known are the twenty-four caprices written in 1817 for solo violin. Paganini also wrote music for the guitar. Well-known are his compositions “Fandango Spanolo” (The Spanish Dance); “Duetto Amoroso”; “La Campanella”; and “A Minor Caprice #24.” Paganini had a son, Achilles, with the famous singer, Antonia Bianchi.
