He received music lessons from his father before he was 6 years old and later from the best instructors in Genoa. He began to perform in public and composed his first sonata（奏鸣曲） when he was 8 years old. He also set his own schedule of rigorous training, sometimes 15 hours a day, practicing his own compositions, which were often quite complicated.
• Although he’s hand was controlled by devil , he is one of my favorite musicians. Not only because of his gorgeous skills ,but also his perception of music and emotion. I enjoy his music, and I can hear it in the sun, leaves and road. • 虽然他的双手“被魔鬼掌控” ，但他仍是我 最喜欢的音乐家之一。这不仅是因为他绚烂的 技巧，还因为他对音乐与情感的敏锐感知。我 享受他的音乐，并且我能在阳光，树叶，和道 路中听见那些音符。
• What’s more, Paganini moved the fingerings in guitar into violin performing. More gorgeous forms in violin were created. • 另外，帕格尼尼将吉他的指法融入小提琴 演奏中。这为小提琴创造了更多绚烂的表 现形式。
Devil controlled the violinist.
• Paganini was considered a prodigy. Mobbed in the street and rumored to have a deal with the devil to achieve the heights of his virtuoso performances. • 这位奇才身上充满了神秘 色彩。他那拉小提琴的双 手，传说为了使演奏达到 更高水准，与魔鬼做了交 易。
• It’s considered that he was the father of the skills in violin. His performance was considered to be impossible to do at that time. His amazing technique was a huge leap in violin. • 他被称作小提琴技巧之父。他的演奏（如 双音技巧，左手拨弦）在当时看来是不可 能的。他极大地开拓了小提琴的演奏技巧.
致敬伟大的小提琴家
帕格尼尼
He was always in great emotional excitement during the performance, entirely losing himself in music. Sometimes Paganini even broke 2 or 3 strings on purpose and played with just 1 to 2 strings in order to show his talent. With his excellent skills, he was just like a devil. 演奏中的他情绪激昂，如痴如醉。有时候为了炫技， 他甚至故意拨断2或3根琴弦，只在剩下的1到2根上 演奏。在耀眼的技巧光环下，他就像一只魔鬼。

Devil controlled the violinist
• However, he had a weakness for gambling, womanizing and alcohol, reportedly having a breakdown early in his career due to the latter. 但是，他一开始并没有正确对待名誉金钱。在放 下小提琴后，那双相传被魔鬼掌握的手，一只伸 进了肮脏的赌场，一只伸进了妓女的幔帐。这些 差一点摧毁了他早期的事业。 • 好在后来那双手又找回了音乐的灵性。
