bands, pop bands, lead guitarist and drummers have received
recognition for their various performances. The greatest players of
the violin have also been honored by different organizations and award
giving bodies.
Violinists undergo tremendous preparations and practices for their
performances. Unlike singers who belt out their songs, these
violinists do not rely on their voice but rather on their ability and
their precious violin. Violins have started its success as a musical
instrument in Europe. It was given much attention during Charles IX
existence that this attention has fueled artists to learn how to play
the violin.
This article is aimed at giving tribute and honor to the greatest
violinist of all time. One of the great violinists is Alessandro
Rolla. Rolla was born in April 22, 1757 in Pavia, Italy. He was highly
regarded in his time as a violinist, a composer and a teacher.
Nonetheless, many people have said his claim to fame was being the
teacher of Niccolo Paganini. While it is true that Rolla was
Paganini's teacher, it is not right that he be restricted to that
definition. Paganini's techniques like left-hand pizzicato, chromatic
ascending and descending scales, high positions on violin and viola
and octave passages were introduced by Rolla.
Rolla had his first public appearance as a soloist when he was 15. He
studied under Gian Andrea Fioroni who was a prominent musician in
Milan. Rolla was very much involved in opera and spend his time
conducting for certain operas. He became the main viola of the Ducale
Orchestra and he conducted and performed as a soloist. He was a big
influence on Paganini's music. His works were highly appreciated as
shown in the articles and review of the Leipziger Zeitung.
One of the greatest violinists is Niccolo Paganini. He was an Italian
composer and a violinist. He contributed many luminous and drastic
innovations in violin technique that are still praised up to this day.
He was born on October 27, 1782 in Genoa, Italy. At the age of seven,
he began playing the violin due to the instructions of his father.
Paganini was an instant success when he delivered his first solo
concert when he was 12.
After staging his concert, he further studied playing the violin to
optimize his potentials. He studied under Giovanni Servetto and even
had the chance to meet the great violinist Alessandro Rolla. He played
his violin for Rolla hoping that Rolla will teach him techniques.
Rolla told Paganini that he has nothing to teach for him because he is
already good. Paganini had the choice to stop there as much as Rolla
has complimented him. Nonetheless, he didn't stop studying and
practicing playing the violin and engaged himself in self-study.
He pushed himself to be the greatest violinist ever and practice 15
hours a day. Paganini's 24 Caprices is regarded as the most difficult
music ever composed. Paganini's ability enabled him to play lyrical
passages, fast scales and wide interval arpeggios.
These violinists are only some of the notable violinist of their time.
Many great violinists have emerged in different generations but these
two violinists have created a great impact on the lives of others.
They are people who have proved the worth of a violinist and the value
of a violin.
