Nicolo' Paganini was a well known and gifted nineteenth-century violinist.
His most memorable concert, however, was one marked by a
difficult test rather than easy success.
The concert was performed with a full orchestra before a packed house in Italy.
Those who heard him play say that Paganini's technique was incredible and his tone fantastic.
Toward the end of the concert, Paganini was astounding his rapt audience with an intriciate composition when one string on his violin sudenly snapped and hung limply from his instrument.
Paganini frowned only briefly, shook his head, and continued to play, improvising beautifully.
Then to everyone's surprise, including Paganini's a second string broke. Shortly there-after, a third string snapped. It seemed like a slapstick comedy routine as Paganini stood before the awed crowd with strings dangling from his Stradivarius violin. Instead of leaving the stage to repair his instrument.
HE STOOD FIRM!
He calmly completed the difficult number on the one remaining string-a performance that
WON him
