Présentation de l'éditeur
Library ML PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. AFTER a lapse of nearly sixteen years since this little work first appeared in print, I have been called upon to prepare it anew for the press, incorporating with it the additional matter necessary for the extension of the subject to the present time. My new readers may like to know, at the outset, what is the intended scope of the following pages. This is soon explained. My object has been to present to the cultivators of the Violin, whether students or proficients, such a sketch (however slight) of the rise and progress of that instrument, accompanied with particulars concerning its more prominent professors, and with incidental anecdotes, as might help to enliven their interest in it, and a little to enlarge what may be called their circumstantial acquaintance with it. This humble object has not been altogether, I trust, without its accomplishment ;and here, while commending my renovated manual to the indulgent notice of the now happily increasing community of violin votaries, I would not forget to acknowledge, gratefully, the liberal and generous appreciation with which, when it first ventured forth, it was met by the public press, and introduced into musical society. G. D. Brighton, A ugust, 1852.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the violin from its earliest origins to the present day, focusing on the Italian school of violin making and playing. The author argues that the violin as we know it today was developed in Italy in the 16th century, building on earlier string instruments such as the rebec and the viol. The book discusses the work of famous Italian violin makers such as Amati, Guarneri, and Stradivari, and explores the techniques and styles of playing developed by Italian violinists such as Corelli and Viotti. The author also examines the role of the violin in Western classical music, from its use in early operas and concertos to its prominence in the Romantic era and beyond. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the history of the violin, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the instrument or its music. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
