Paganini Quotes

I have met Rossini, Cherubini, Baillot, etc.-also Kalkbrenner. You would not believe how curious I was about Herz, Liszt, Hiller, etc. - They are all zero beside Kalkbrenner. I confess that I have played like Herz, but would wish to play like Kalkbrenner. If Paganini is perfection, Kalkbrenner is his equal, but in quite another style. (Frédéric Chopin)
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all. View quote

As far as rock groups, I really like Stone Temple Pilots. As for classical composers, it's Bach. I love Paganini, too, the Italian composer who would break strings during a performance and finish playing on just one string. Someone I would have loved to play with is Jimi Hendrix. View quote
