La Pagina e l'Archetto

Among the scientific publications dedicated to Paganini, the 2003 edition of La Pagina e l'Archetto offers a bibliographical survey of the studies dedicated to the violin and to Paganini. This historical-technical bibliography is the result of ten years of research by Dr Philippe Borer who has worked together with the Civico Istituto di Studi Paganiniani for several years. La Pagina e l'Archetto lists approximately one thousand publications, giving a short explanation of their content and quotations from key passages. Among the different sections, we would like to point out one dedicated to Paganini's ‘secret’. The reader will find at his disposal a catalogue containing a number of documents that constitute, to a certain extent, a particular literary genre.
