Violin May Be Played "Only Once A Year Lying in ated glass case in the museum at Genoa is the won- derful violin which Paganini, thie greatest violinist -who_ ever lived, . bequeathed to the city before his" death' in 1840. : It is a Guarneri del" Gesu and wis given to Paganini by Guarneri himself. This. superb; deep-toned instrument is priceless and is guard- ed as closely as a rare diamond. Once every. y ar, a famous Ital jan - violinist is permitted to play the precious violin for five minutes, In the presence of two. witnesses, the seals of the glass case are bro- ken and the violin is lovingly. taken from its shrine. The public are' not allowed to hear the violinist as he tests the instrument. Only a leading violin: maker and a professor of music are present at this strange perfor- _mance, which has recently "just taken place 'oilce more. Fiddler's Fiery Eyes When Renato de Barbiri, a Genoa born violinist, had finished playing, he was asked to sign a . form in the presence of the other two men. And. this is' what he wrote: "I have just played Pagani- ni's Guarner; ind 1 found the tone faultless.' Then the violin w - returned to its case which was re-scaled for, anpther year. tie, The greai composer Verdi de- clared that - Paganini. was a_Phen- omenon, Verdi was invited "one evening to Ro:sini's house. Pag':' anini was there and 'he was asked to- play. He declined. "Then sud- _denly he seized a violin in a fury. "and played the four A's in one grip on cach scpara : string," Verdi recalled. "He then glared ar us with his fiery eyes, muttered' 'enough" and departed without a. word to-his host. -He was a mu. sician of genius, the.greatest fidd- ler of all times. The world will never hear his like again." ¢ "Devil's Disciple" Paganini had 'a pale face which, with his slightly beaked nose, sometimes frightened people. His weird appearance, romantic air and fascinating playing, excited people all over Europe. Some seriously believed that he was the Devil's. "disciple. . 4 Once when he played a "witches' dancé" in 'Vienna, a man in the audience» declared he "saw 'the } ~ Devil guiding the_violinist's fingers and bow."
