Yes it is true,i completely agree on it.Once more: Bach expressed many
times trougthout his life his deep admiration for Vivaldi's music.  About
Paganini,it is true too,even if he made a lot of fireworks music,but many
of his pieces are nice,and some melodies he use were really beautiful,like
the famous for the "Paganini Variations " of Brahms,Schumann,Liszt,
Lutoslawsky,etc.  Regards.
