Inna now that you mention Paganni how about Franz Lizst as performing star. The women in his day supposedly removed and threw their underware on stage during his performances along with the fainting and things that young women go through when their idol is perfoming, a real showman he was with quite a dramatic flair who's inspiration was Paganni. His discipline for practice was also legendary, at times more the 16 hours a day to hone his virtuosic skills. It would be interesting to compare his performances by todays standards.
