Synopsis
The History Of The Violin: And Other Instruments Played On With The Bow From The Remotest Times To The Present. Also, An Account Of The Principal Makers, English And Foreign, With Numerous Illustrations by William Sandys and Simon Andrew Forster surveys the bow and bowed instruments from ancient times to the modern era. It examines the origins of the violin and its antecedents, tracing early Egyptian and Ninevite stringed instruments, the crwth and rotta, and the gradual adoption of the bow. The work also discusses ancient notation, the influence of such instruments on culture, and the role of minstrels in medieval and Renaissance Europe. It presents an extensive catalog of principal makers—Amati, Stradivarius, Guarneri, Maggini, Ruggeri, Storioni, Storoni, and many English builders such as Rayman, Forster, Norris, Banks, Dodd, and Kennedy—together with illustrations and plates. It also covers the social history of performance, the evolution of musical notation, and the shift from viols to violins in England. The editors acknowledge scholarly uncertainties and invite further enlargement.
