“Such is friendship, that through it we love places and seasons; for as bright bodies emit rays to a distance, and flowers drop their sweet leaves on the ground around them, so friends impart favor even to the places where they dwell. With friends even poverty is pleasant. Words cannot express the joy which a friend imparts; they only can know who have experienced. A friend is dearer than the light of heaven, for it would be better for us that the sun were exhausted than that we should be without friends.” KnowsShouldBodyLightWould BeJoyHeavenFriendshipPovertySunSweetFlowerSeasonsDistanceFavorsPleasantRaysExhaustedImpartWithout Friends Author:Saint John Chrysostom

“On December 12, 1829, Paganini wrote his friend Germi: "The variations I've composed on the graceful Neapolitan ditty, 'Oh Mamma, Mama Cara,' outshine everything. I can't describe it!" He was writing from Karlsruhe, in the midst of his triumphal tour through Germany. That letter marks the earliest known mention of the variations that would become famous as "The Carnival of Venice." At the time of his letter, Paganini had already performed the piece in at least four concerts. From then on, it would be one of his most popular compositions.” WritingI CanWould BeFriendshipKnownPiecesFourFameLettersMarkGermanyMidstConcertsCompositionVariationMamaDecemberVeniceCarnivalsPaganini Author:Niccolo Paganini
