The Violin and Its Music (Classic Reprint) by George Hart Pdf

Excerpt from The Violin and Its Music Violin and its famous makers was received with so much indulgence by my friends and admirers of the leading instrument. The signs of approval which have from time to time been brought under my notice with regard to the publication of that book, prompted me to again occupy some portion of my leisure hours in the preparation'of another volume, treating of the remaining branch of the same subject, namely: The Violin and its Music. I need scarcely remark, that I am not unmindful of the distinctive character of the two undertakings, and of the wholly different knowledge necessary to be brought to bear upon each.

The Story of the Violin (Classic Reprint) by Paul Stoeving Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of the Violin Who will describe it, tone Of a Stradivari violin, when the true artist draws it from its hiding-place? That indescribably sweet voice - voice of an angel and yet ringing with the dear familiar sound of earth, with earthly passions, joys and woes and ecstasies; intensely human and yet so superhuman that the soul is seized with hopeless longing to follow it, to oat with it through realms unknown and infinite, charged, we know not how, with music or with love. Yes, indescribably sweet voice, where thou endest the music of the Spheres begins. (or, is it thai perhaps which rises from the petals of owers in wondrous ex halations, half-perfume and half-melody, and, trembling in the sunlight, draws the bee the way to the honey P) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Violin by George Hart Pdf

Excerpt from The Violin: Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators For some time I have been in a state of doubt as to which course to pursue - whether to follow the usual custom, and address the reader in a Preface, or to combine my prefatory remarks with a Dedication. It will be seen that I have chosen the latter method. I am aware that inscriptions in connection with books are no longer in vogue; the necessity for them has happily long since passed away. In these free press days, though the writer of a book be the most obscure individual in the paths of literature, yet his pages will not lack readers, always providing they are worth perusal.

The Violin, How to Choose One (Classic Reprint) by Wm. C. Honeyman Pdf

Excerpt from The Violin, How to Choose One Simple though the work may appear, it has cost me more labour than a six-month story, but no tale from my pen has attracted more attention or drawn forth more unqualified expressions of gratitude and loving approval. During the last six months, while these papers have been appearing, I have received from six to twelve letters daily, all of which were couched in terms of praise and delight except two. One of these was only carping and scornful, the other was so horribly abusive that I had not strength to read more than six lines before dropping it into the waste basket. The majority, therefore, have carried the day, and the papers now appear as a book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Violin by Charles Goffrie Pdf

Excerpt from The Violin: A Condensed History of the Violin, Its Perfection and Its Famous Makers, Importance of Bridge and Sound-Post Arrangement To the Amateurs of the Leading Instrument - the Violin. For some years I have been occupied in forming a collection of Italian string instruments, and have succeeded, after great labor and expenditure, in bringing together the largest and most varied assortment of Cremona Violins, Violas, Viols d'amour and Violoncellos, including Stradiuarius, Guarnerius, Carlo Bergonzi, Amati, Guadagnini, Maggini, Rugeri, Montagnani, Grancino, Stainer, etc., etc.; also, Tourte and other bows that are to be found in this country. These I have placed on view at Andre's Music Store, 1228 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The value of the instruments ranges from $100 to over $1000 each, and the aggregate value exceeds $10,000. Some of the instruments and bows are for sale. In giving publicity to the following few pages, I wish it to be understood that my object is to present, in a very condensed form, the History and description of the Violin - from the period when the bow was first introduced, to the time when both the Violin and bow were brought to perfection. I have only added what an experience of over 30 years taught me in that important part - the proper arrangement of Bar, Sound-Post, and Bridge. Any one desiring more information about the history of stringed instruments, I refer to the works of the following authors: - Fetis, Coussemaker, Savart, Otto, Hart, Abele, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Researches Into the Early History of the Violin Family (Classic Reprint) by Carl Engel Pdf

Excerpt from Researches Into the Early History of the Violin Family The author of this book has gone to his rest before the last revision of it. How little had been left for consideration or change is shown in that I have added only four footnotes to the text. For that text, its deep learning, ingenious research and happy illustration, no one can be more grateful than myself. I call attention especially to the interesting chain of reasoning which derives the Mediaeval Rotte from the old Greek Lyre. But that is only a single instance of many in this admirable essay, of practical discernment in remote ways where we have but faint light to guide us. Respect for Carl Engel and his life's work will last as long as there exists any desire to know, and disposition to assimilate, those musical facts, historical or ethnological, which lie outside our every-day experience.

Notes on the Construction of the Violin (Classic Reprint) by Walter Bulkeley Coventry Pdf

Excerpt from Notes on the Construction of the Violin IT is one of the marvels of the age that for the last two cen tuties no improvement whatever has been found possible in the construction of the violin. The apparent simplicity of its structure sometimes gives rise to the idea that there is almost a reproach to science in the fact that so little is known concerning the principles of the instrument; that there is in fact no theory of the violin worthy of the name.

The Violoncello and Its History (Classic Reprint) by Wilh Jos V. Wasielewski Pdf

Excerpt from The Violoncello and Its History I'r may be that we are not a musical people, but if so the encouragement and appreciation which the sister Art to paint ing has of late years received in England is not a proof of the truth of the assertion frequently made. Our Concert-rooms are always crowded to overflowing; foreign artists think it worth while to come year by year to England; schools of music are multiplying, and eagerly attended by amateurs as well as professionals and I think it may now be taken for granted that a musical education may be as thoroughly acquired here as abroad. Every kind of musical instrument is taken up, if not always with a really serious intention but no instrument has more rapidly or more certainly come into favour amongst all lovers of music, as well with those who study as with those who listen, than the Violoncello. It is therefore somewhat surprising that up to the present time no book has been published in English, either as regarding its History or its Literature. This consideration, as well as the hope that not only those who devote themselves to the Violoncello, either as professors or amateurs, may be interested in its History, but also the general musical public who delight in listening to its deeply pathetic tones as produced by the great masters of it, has induced me to attempt the translation of Mr. Wasielewski's interesting work. We love to know and often take pains to enquire into the history of any favourite picture, to learn something of the artist's life, the circumstances under which he painted it, and often the origin of its conception. I therefore hope that the story of the Violoncello will be acceptable to all who love it and give their lives to the development of its many beauties and capabilities.

Old Violins by H. R. Haweis Pdf

Excerpt from Old Violins: And Violin LoreWhat is the secret of the violin? Why is it that when a great violinist appears all the other soloists have to take a back seat?The answer is: the fascination of the violin is the fascination of the soul unveiled.No instrument - the human voice hardly excepted - provides such a rare vehicle for the emotions - is in such close touch with the molecular vibrations of thought and with the psychic waves of feeling. But whilst the violin equals the voice in sensibility and expression, it far transcends it in compass, variety, and durability.Consider the singular completeness and perfection of this instrument as a sort of physical and vibratory counterpart of the soul. The four strings no doubt limit and define its compass, and only in the quartet and collectively, is it capable of extended effects of complex harmony; but as a tone-producing instrument and within its limits it is perfect - every gradation of sound between tone and semitone is attainable, and for no other instrument can this be claimed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
