THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies
Synopsis Ludwig van Beethoven and Niccolò Paganini lived in the same time, but they had no contact, neither in person nor in writing. Although Paganini considered Beethoven's string quartets to be “extravagant”, the German composer's music surely influenced the compositions of the “diabolical” violinist, twelve years his junior, who traveled to Vienna to give recitals when Beethoven had already passed. Without meeting each other, these two geniuses were linked by the burden of deplorable health; both were in the hands of doctors as famous as incapable of relieving their torments.
