36. The Devil’s Violin (Listen Up & Learn)
Level: Listen Up & Learn
Our friend and VIP Member Cathyanne says she’s going to Italy to see her friends and to perfect her Italian. “Once in Italy”, she says, “I will rent a violin, I will play it in some orchestras, and I will give lessons”. – Then she asks if we can dedicate a LearnItalianPod episode to what, in her opinion, is the most important thing ever made in Italy: the violin! – You asked, we listened.
Let’s dedicate this lesson to an Italian music legend who has been called “the very first rock star” of history, the great “devil’s violinist” Niccolo’ Paganini. – Then as usual, after listening to the dialogue, take the “7 Question Challenge” to test your comprehension, speaking, and grammar skills. Enjoy!

October 14th, 2011 at 12:44 amI’ll never forget the first time I listened to Il Carnevale di Venezia (Carnival of Venice) played by the great Salvatore Accardo… I still have goosebump thinking about it! – I’m a musician and passionate about violin and Italian culture. Grazie per questo episodio!
