this must be some kind of joke. Scarce wonder that the greater part of her fans are but philistines masquerading as classical lovers. Such a disgrace to paganini; this is just as shaming a construct of his music as Mae is a musical sham, assembled to please the masses with contemporary renditions of eternal classics. The caprices are not meant to be played like this; call it your own work, sure, and take merit for that, but it is NOT paganini.
