When Paganini grew tired of life as a touring violin virtuoso, he took a break and taught himself to play the guitar. So he'd probably approve of the version of his Violin Concerto No. 2 we'll enjoy today, with guitar soloist Nicola Hall.
When the women he was hoping to marry broke up with him, Dvorak recycled the love songs he had written for her into miniatures for string quartet. We'll enjoy his Cypresses today.
