The story of the violinist Niccolo Paganini is quite interesting; I cannot believe the behavior of the priest Romolo Cafarelli. What I don't like is that it's a script, I'm not used to that format. Thanks for the review.

This is a screenplay. Richard Rees seems to have creatively and masterfully developed the storyline based on the love story of the musician Paganini and Princess Dida . Thanks for your review that this screenplay is unlike other screenplays which make poor reading.. I would like to read this sometime. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Excellent review. A story that portrays a clergyman as the antagonist while a gambler and womanizer is seen as the protagonist is a novelty to me.

Paganini's story and the controversy surrounding the source of his musical talents sounds like one I can enjoy reading. I like historical fiction, and I can't wait to read this. Thank you for this wonderful review!

Despite being a good book it contains strong language and secual elements which I might pass on. A nice screen play book. Congratulations to Richard Rees.

The legend of Panginni has not been known to me until now. I have never come across such a screenplay that can be read. I am very curious about this book.

From this review, I can see that "Diabolus In Musica" by Richard Rees is screenplay based on the life of the celebrated Italian violinist and composer who died in 1840. I will consider reading.

Thanks for the grand review. The idea of being involved with the devil makes the book somewhat interesting. This is the book for historical fans indeed!!
