During Paganini's lifetime no one else seems to have played his music, although one of his imitators is said to have reproduced some pieces from memory. After Paganini's death, the propagandist of his works was his nephew and pupil, Ernesto Camillo Sivori. He made his début at the Leipzig Gewandhaus Concerts, October 3, 1841, and a week later introduced there Paganini's Variations on the Prayer from _Mosé in Egitto_. In all, some dozen pieces by Paganini were given at those famous concerts from 1841 to 1876. Sivori also introduced Paganini to the then very conservative concerts of the Philharmonic Society, London, in 1844. But they did strange things in those days. The first movement of the Concerto in B minor was included in the first part of the concert on April 29, 1844; the Adagio and Rondo coming in the middle of the second part! Poor Sivori had to submit to similar treatment of his own concerto at the Society's concerts in 1845. It would be interesting to know how Paganini's music fared at the concerts of the Paris Conservatoire, but I have not been able to procure any reliable data relating to the subject. Rumour was long busy with the project entertained by Paganini's son, the Baron Achilles, of publishing a complete edition of the compositions of the great violinist; and in 1887 a paragraph in the _Athenæum_ announced on apparently good authority that the Baron was preparing for immediate publication the whole of the works of his father which still remained in manuscript. Several of those were named, but nothing more has been heard of the undertaking. I have scrutinised the musical press from that date to the present time, and have failed to gather any further information on the subject. From every available source I have compiled the following list of Paganini's compositions:-- Op. 1. Twenty-four Capriccios, for violin alone. Op. 2. Six Sonatas, for violin and guitar. Op. 3. Six Sonatas, for violin and guitar. Op. 4. Three Grand Quartets, for violin, viola, violoncello and guitar. Op. 5. Three Grand Quartets, for the same. Op. 6. Concerto, No. 1, in E flat (D), for violin and orchestra. Op. 7. Concerto, No. 2, in B minor, for the same. Op. 8. "Le Streghe." Introduction and Variations. Op. 9. "God Save the King." Variations. Op. 10. "Carnaval de Venise." Variations. Op. 11. "Allegro de Concert." "Moto Perpetuo." Op. 12. "Non più mesta." Introduction and Variations. Op. 13. "Di tanti palpiti." Introduction and Variations. _All for violin and orchestra._ Op. 14. Sixty Studies in Variation form, on the Air "Barucaba," for violin alone. _Works without Opus number._ Sonata in A, for violin, with accompaniment of violin and violoncello. Bravura Variations on a theme from Rossini's "Moses in Egypt," for violin and string quartet, or pianoforte.
