This is what he played when he was alone.
Paganini was publicly ambivelent about the guitar yet, one of the few pieces he published during his life time was a show piece for guitar : the Grand Sonata in A major (Marco Tomayo gives an excellent account on Naxos 8.557598). These are not show pieces in the same sense; these are chamber works in the best sense of that term–music made at home–they are challenging to play (I’m told) and they are tuneful and charming to listen to.
Paganini said, “I do not like the instrument, but regard it simply as a way of helping me to think.” We tend to forget that instant access to music has only been widely available since the middle of the last century. For the composer and for us, this music provides a space for us to think in. While this music is not distracting, that should not be taken to mean that it’s mere fluff–it’s not late Beethoven or Mozart, but it’s not meant to be–these sonatas fulfil their function with aplomb. They delight in being delightful. Great stuff this for a relaxing evening or for contemplation.
Thanks a lot, never heard this before!
