Осуждение Паганини

Ėto kniga o genialʹnom skripache, chʹi͡a pugai͡ushchai͡a vneshnostʹ i sposobnostʹ izvlekatʹ "iz grubykh zhil" zvuki nezemnoĭ krasoty privodili publiku v ėkstaz i smi͡atenie. A katolicheskui͡u t͡serkovʹ - v negodovanie. Ėto roman o neveroi͡atno odarennoĭ i zhestoko izranennoĭ dushe, kotorai͡a zhila v kosobokom boleznennom tele i vesʹ srok svoego zemnogo sushchestvovanii͡a tshchetno pytalasʹ prodratʹsi͡a cherez unizhenii͡a, mstitelʹnostʹ i klevetu k li͡ubvi i svobode. Ėto istorii͡a ob obshchestve, kotoroe slishkom legko i bespechno polʹzuetsi͡a svoeĭ vlastʹi͡u kak smeshivatʹ s gri͡azʹi͡u, tak i voznositʹ na Olimp.Nikkolo Paganini ne byl dʹi͡avolom ili prestupnikom, kakim pytalisʹ vystavitʹ ego svi͡ashchenniki. Angelom on tozhe ne byl - sarkastichnyĭ, temperamentnyĭ, nepredskazuemyĭ. No koldovskoe ocharovanie ego igry, masterstvo i muzyka byli nastolʹko za granʹi͡u chelovecheskikh vozmozhnosteĭ, chto li͡udi otkazyvalisʹ videtʹ v nem prosto skripacha-virtuoza. Ėto porodilo mnozhestvo legend, spleten i vymyslov, nekotorye zhivut do sikh por. Roman Anatolii͡a Vinogradova "Osuzhdenie Paganini" osnovan na dokumentalʹnykh materialakh o zhizni velikogo skripacha i predlagaet ne tolʹko khudozhestvennui͡u biografii͡u maėstro, no i shirokui͡u panoramu evropeĭskoĭ zhizni nachala XIX veka.

This is a book about a brilliant violinist, whose frightening appearance and ability to extract sounds of unearthly beauty from "rough veins" led the audience into ecstasy and confusion. And the Catholic Church is outraged. This is a novel about an incredibly gifted and cruelly wounded soul who lived in a lopsided, sickly body and tried in vain for the entire duration of her earthly existence to wade through humiliation, vindictiveness and slander for love and freedom. This is a story about a society that too easily and carelessly uses its power to both muddy and elevate to Olympus.Niccolo Paganini was not the devil or the criminal that the priests tried to make him out to be. He wasn't an angel either—sarcastic, temperamental, unpredictable. But the magical charm of his playing, skill, and music were so beyond human capabilities that people refused to see him as just a virtuoso violinist. This gave rise to many legends, gossip and fictions, some still live today. Anatoly Vinogradov's novel "The Condemnation of Paganini" is based on documentary materials about the life of the great violinist and offers not only an artistic biography of the maestro, but also a wide panorama of European life at the beginning of the 19th century.
