3NEW FEATURES IN THE LIFE OF PAGANINI
5To the numerous anecdotes related of Paganini, most of which I have given in my two former works,¹ new facts now and then crop up, which must be added, as they throw light upon the career of that celebrated violinist. One of the most astounding revelations regarding the life of "the illustrious Genoese," as he is sometimes called, has been recently recorded in the "Life and Letters" of the late Sir Charles Hallé, the celebrated pianist and conductor, which was published in London in 1896. This excellent work may be consulted advantageously for many interesting traits connected with the noted musicians who were Charles Hallé's contemporaries; it is a volume which bears the impress of truth and honest conviction on every page, and with the recent works of the same kind by Arditi and Kuhe, forms a valuable addition to the musical literature of this century.

9¹ "Biographical Sketches of Celebrated Violinists" (1877), and "Famous Violinists and Fine Violins" (1896).
