Eau So Peculiar :
I remember reading that Paganini would sharpen his pinky nails so that his violin strings would smoke when he was performing to scare his spectators. I love him infinitely for this.

On May 27, 1840, Paganini died suddenly from internal bleeding, before a priest could be summoned. The rumor instantly circulated that he had refused last rites because he had – in fact – been in league with the devil!

Paganini was also a peer of Mary Shelley and Byron who are widely regarded as protogoth 🖤 The Luck of Barry Lyndon, set in this period, gives a beautiful description of the era

The first goths were a group of Germanic people who hated the Romans.

Interesting note: mercury based makeup was used to pale the face (think Queen Elizabeth I) so if he was also using it topically for the skin symptoms it also would’ve unnaturally paled him, literally giving him that goth rocker look!

Similarly, Robert Johnson, a blues artist, played the guitar in a graveyard and people thought that he sold his soul to the devil to play the guitar. Paganini's works also sound incredible on the electric guitar!🖤

Also to note, Paganini had huge hands. Violin players have to work hard to play his pieces because of some of the intervals

I’d say Lord Byron. The Romantic period in general was goth 🙂.
