Vinnaren i pepparkakshustävlingen!
Jag tror jag förväxlade Vivaldi med Paganini, det var väldigt många år sedan jag fick historian berättad för mig.
Tackar!

Jag känner inte till den anekdoten. Här är ett par andra:
Citat:
Paganini won another violin by his ability to read music at sight. Pasini, an eminent painter and an amateur violinist, refused to believe the wonderful faculty for playing at sight, which had been imputed to Paganini, and in order to test it brought him a manuscript concerto containing some difficulties considered as insurmountable. "This instrument shall be yours," said Pasini, placing in his hands an excellent Stradivari, "if you can play, in a masterly manner, this concerto, at first sight." Paganini accepted the challenge, threw Pasini into ecstasies, and became the owner of the instrument.

Citat:
An anecdote is told of him [Vivaldi] to the effect that one day during mass a theme for a fugue struck him. He immediately quitted the altar at which he was officiating, for he united clerical with musical duties, and, hastening to the sacristy to write down the theme, afterwards returned and finished the mass. For this he was brought before the Inquisition, but being considered only as a "musician," a term synonymous with "madman," the sentence was mild,— he was forbidden to say mass in the future.

Citat:
Marpurg in his Légende einiger Musikheiligien, Cologne 1786 tells the story concerning the competition between Bach and Marchand. It should be remembered that Bach had been dead for nearly forty years when this appeared and consequently imagination may have resulted in "embellishment" of the tale.
Marpurg in his Légende einiger Musikheiligien, Cologne 1786 tells the story concerning the competition between Bach and Marchand. It should be remembered that Bach had been dead for nearly forty years when this appeared and consequently imagination may have resulted in "embellishment" of the tale.
"In the year 1717, during his banishment from France, Marchand came to Dresden, performed before the King of Poland with particular success, and was so fortunate as to be offered a post in the Royal service, at several thousand Thalers. The Capelle of this Prince included a French Concertmeister, named Volumier, who either contemplated with jealous eyes the good fortune about to accrue to his compatriot or else had been accidentally offended by the latter. He called the attention of the Chamber Musicians to the scorn with which Marchand spoke about all German clavier players, and consulted with them as to how the pride of this Goliath might be somewhat humbled, if it were not possible to eliminate him altogether from the Court. Upon being assured that the Chamber and Court Organist Sebastian Bach was a man who could take up the challenge of the organist of the French Court any day, Volumier wrote at once to Weymar and invited Bach to come to Dresden forth with and break a lance with Mr Marchand. Bach came, and with the consent of the King was admitted as a listener to the next concert at Court. When, at this concert, Marchand performed among other things a French ditty with many variations, and was much applauded for the art displayed in the variations as well as for his elegant and fiery playing, Bach, who was standing next to him, was urged to try the harpsichord. He accepted the invitation, played only a brief improvisation (with masterly chords) and, before anyone realised what was happening, he repeated the ditty played by Marchand, and made a dozen variations on it, with new art and in ways that had not been heard before. Marchand, who had hitherto defied all organists, had to acknowledge the undoubted superiority of his antagonist on this occasion. For when Bach made so bold to invite him to engage in friendly competition with him on the organ, and for this purpose gave him a theme which he jotted down with pencil on a scrap of paper, to be made the subject of improvisations, asking Marchand for a theme in return, Marchand, so far from putting in an appearance at the scene of battle, thought it better to leave Dresden by special coach."
