Abstract Tobias Wilczkowski: Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst – A great violinist in the shadow of Paganini. Uppsala universitet: Institutionen för musikvetenskap, uppsats för 60p., 2005. As a boy, Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst adopted Paganini's virtuosic style. He became a popular violinist who later developed his own style. He used the potential of the violin to its extreme and explored new possibilities on the instrument. Later, however, Ernst was more or less forgotten as a violinist and today his contributions are neglected. This essay attempts to show that this is unfair to Ernst and that he today does

Notre étude est consacrée à la présence de Paganini dans la presse et la littérature de son temps. Nous examinons comment, en Italie, en France en Allemagne et en Angleterre, ce musicien exceptionnel devient personnage de fiction et quelle influence cette "entrée en littérature" exerce sur la représentation des musiciens dans les romans et nouvelles du XIXe siècle. Après avoir retracé le parcours du violoniste, nous nous penchons sur la manière dont ses faits et gestes sont relatés dans la presse et exposons les polémiques que la technique paganinienne entraîne.

Abstract:
This study investigates the significance of the Paganini theme and variation sets composed by two living composers, Neils Viggo Bentzon and Robert Muczynski. The popularity of the theme and variation form gradually spread to the keyboard repertoire first as entertainment for both courtly and bourgeois audiences, and later as a means of technical display for performing piano virtuosi. Paganini's twenty-fourth Caprice from Op.1 for solo violin is the basis for sets of variations for solo piano by three major pianist-composers: Liszt, Brahms, and Busoni.

El presente trabajo está dedicado a estudiar el repertorio existente para violín solo hasta Paganini, y analizar sus diferencias de estilo, intenciones y funciones. Las dos obras cumbre de este género son las Sonatas y Partitas de Johann Sebastián Bach, y los Caprichos Opus 1 de Paganini. Al observar la trayectoria de la cronología artística, apreciamos cómo existe un repertorio que nace en el primer Barroco, que ha conducido a que estas creaciones no sean piezas aisladas sino obras insertas en una tradición compositiva hoy día bastante desconocida.

In this thesis, I explore the works of Kenneth Grahame in light of what some critics have deemed “literary paganism”.

His critique of modernity relies on a literary persona indicative of an alternative attitude to that of the middle class fin de siècle urban culture. His short stories add to this critique in their presentation of childhood as a pre-converted pagan existence which en-kindles a sense
