Violin, claims the author, is basically Indian in its origin, though it is very often accepted as a European instrument. Whatever and wherever be its origin, violin, with its structural potentiality, transcends geographical boundaries of music. It is, accordingly, an instrument of world music. This book tries to trace the origin and gradual evolution of violin as a musical instrument -- through different stages of mankind s socio-cultural history -- highlighting how this instrument, in particular, has contributed towards the creation of music. Incidentally, the book also deals with the changing structure of violin and its potentiality in enriching music anywhere in the world. Even if the author s discussion largely centres around Hindustani (North Indian Classical) music, she looks at the use of violin in its cross-cultural, rather global perspective. The book is illustrated with photographs and line-drawings.
