Berlin - An art that not everyone masters : When David Garrett namely aufgeigt in the truest sense of the word , the audience is always delighted. But the stage was the star violinist apparently not enough : In the movie The devils fiddler , from the 31 October runs in our cinemas , he takes on the role of none other than Niccolò Paganini ( † 1840). To celebrate the release , there are also still the soundtrack vs. Garrett . Paganini . The TT hit the 33 -year-old neo- actor for an interview. Niccolò Paganini was allegedly forced by the father in his childhood to long hours of practice. Was not the kid been diligent enough, he simply got nothing to eat. From you , David Garrett, it is however , that you have voluntarily practiced eight hours a day . David , the good boy then? David Garrett : That with the voluntary nature is always such a thing ... You can basically assume that no child voluntarily practicing eight hours. This is not enough because concentration. Anyone who has children knows that it is very, very difficult to maintain their concentration for long. The biggest lure is still the attention of the parents. That Paganini had a harder school , probably based on the fact that he grew up in abject poverty . Thus, the pressure of the family was quite different. Finally, there was one who could provide a better life. What was the very special about Paganini ? Garrett : His virtuosity . He has made the first violin popular. His compositions have an infinite difficulty and make the highest demands . Yardstick of every violinist is that it at least once measured by Paganini and can play the great violin concertos free of technical problems. There are few who are able to do so. They can be counted on the fingers of two hands . They are naturally this? Garrett : Anything you would probably not filled the role with me. Because the project was a big challenge . It was not possible simply to rely on a screenplay. It was also about the use of music. You could not arbitrarily with added music individual scenes. The musical quality had to be maintained in any case . How important was the acting element ? This was a debut for you yes ? Garrett : Director Bernard Rose has advised me to make me previously not thought about it than necessary . He was afraid that I would lose my naturalness as a violinist . But of course I have taken hours , a perfectionist , I wanted to be prepared on set. Her look in this role - much mask? Garrett : No, I had my hair grow . The sideburns are authentic. All real. Paganini was called the devils fiddler . Goethe said of the demonic that it manifests itself in a very positive energy, especially for musicians. And Paganini had shown highly appreciated. But incredible skills could be a yes also given by divine hand. So why just devils fiddler ? Garrett : That has to do with the time . At the beginning of the industrial revolution was rather taken with the extraordinary negativity in connection, even if it was meant quite positive. This was Paganinis appearance. Gaunt, skinny , always dressed in black . He has the myths that were woven around him , never refuted . Thus stories that were not true , and the audience is fascinated held . But be -all and was of course the quality. Everything was fascinating , brilliant , new. Devils fiddler , which describes something that was inconceivable at that time , and was mystified . In reality, put enormous talent and infinitely lot of work , but its probably exhausting to seek the truth . Paganini was unquestionably a pop star of his time . In our time, women tend to throw the big pop stars including underwear on the stage. Has it already happened? Garrett : My female audience is emancipated and more reserved. For me, hopefully the music is in the foreground. I find such things in itself is not negative, but it is very good that nothing is thrown at me on stage. Finally, I have an expensive instrument in the hand , and it would be nice to have to watch constantly ( laughs). How many violins do you have? Garrett : A 1716 Stradivarius violin and another that I use mostly in a studio . Because when you get near a microphone , you do not need Stradivarius. Desecration would be the wrong word , it is there simply unnecessary . Paganini had 14 violins by the way , but the Lord has indeed earned a colleague pig money. And ... playful. What about your game engine ? Garrett : There is thankfully no affinity . My only game engine is the violin. What does your career? Garrett : career? This is an elusive concept for me. What is this all about? A combination of success and affection ? The secret recipe of a so-called career for me is that you never tried to run after her. Its about passion, love , discipline . Career , this word has nothing to do with art. Its just a product. Many great artists in the music scene has ever confessed that there were moments in which he had thrown his favorite instrument out the window. How is that for you? Garrett : With the piano, which is likely to be difficult , and as for my violin : But the value of the instrument is too high. Paganini played before crowned heads . You also . About in front of the Queen . In addition, before Angela Merkel, the Pope or Barack Obama. Is there something to be desired in this respect ? Garrett : To be honest - in the end I only play the music for its own sake . Interview by Ludwig Heinrich
