Paganini's travelling
1831 bulletin advertising a
performance of PaganiniFor the next few years, Paganini returned to touring
in the areas surrounding Parma and Genoa. Though he was very popular with the
local audience, he was still not very well known in the rest of Europe. His
first break came from an 1813 concert at La Scala in Milan. The concert was a
great success. As a result, Paganini began to attract the attention of other
prominent, albeit more conservative, musicians across Europe. His early
encounters with Charles Philippe Lafont and Louis Spohr created intense
rivalry. His concert activities, however, were still limited to Italy for the
next few years.His fame spread across Europe with a concert tour that
started in Vienna in August 1828, stopping in every major European city in
Germany, Poland, and Bohemia until February 1831 in Strasbourg. This was
followed by tours in Paris and Britain. His technical ability and his
willingness to display it received much critical acclaim. In addition to his
own compositions, theme and variations being the most popular, Paganini also
performed modified versions of works (primarily concertos) written by his early
contemporaries, such as Rodolphe Kreutzer and Giovanni Battista Viotti.
