Composer of the Week is a music series on BBC Radio 3 exploring the life and works of a succession of composers.
Niccolo Paganini is currently the featured artist and, as I write, there are three programmes left until Friday 6 July 2012 discussing his musical life and influence.
Episode 4 tomorrow asks if Paganini was an unrivalled genius or grotesque showman?
Donald Macleod and violinist Andrew McGee also explore Paganini's reputation as the virtuoso's virtuoso and we hear how today's players rise to the challenge of performing the works tailored so brilliantly to the unique abilities of their creator.
