Edited by Robin Stowell
The Cambridge Companion to the Violin offers students, performers, and scholars a fascinating and composite survey of the history and repertory of the instrument from its origins to the present day. The volume comprises fifteen essays, written by a team of specialists, and is intended to develop the violin’s historical perspective in breadth and from every relevant angle. The principal subjects discussed include the instrument’s structure and development: its fundamental acoustical properties: principal exponents: technique and teaching principles: solo and ensemble repertory: pedagogical literature: traditions in folk music and jazz: and aspects of historical performing practice. The text is supported by numerous illustrations and diagrams as well as music examples, a useful appendix, glossary of technical terms, and an extensive bibliography.
