De la excelența designului la excelența interpretării, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù și Niccolò Paganini
From excellence of design to excellence of interpretation, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù and Niccolò Paganini

Summary/Abstract: In the history of the violin, from design and construction to performance, two names stand out both for the value of the level of craftsmanship and for the fact that they are closely related even though the fields of activity are different. Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù (1698 – 1744), one of the most famous masters of Italian luthiery, and Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840), perhaps the most famous violinist of all time. Analising the results of the two, we discover a common denominator that each time fuels the reputation of the two even more. The "Il Cannone" violin is the result of a complete creative process aimed at both the manufacturer and the customer, but wich projects a final result that serves the listener and all of mankind, opening new paths not only in innovation and design of the instrument, but also in the techniques and possibilities of interpretation, actively contributing to the process of continuous development and creation in the two fields. The violin “as an object, was and continues to be an extension of the hand, an ally of man, a precious help in solving some of his many problems of living, in support of activity, in support of the efficiency developed towards the goal and with the possibility of to shorten their path to reach it.”
