Book excerpt: Myrtle Reed's classic novel is not simply a romantic story, but a celebration of life, love and the exquisiteness of music. The story involves a virtuoso violin player living in Lancaster, whose house is kept by his spinster sister. In a different neighborhood of town, an elderly lady who adopted and raised a young girl is surprised when her relatives- a widow and her son - arrive unannounced and wish to stay. The son, being musically talented, aspires to take up tutorage with the famous violinist of Lancaster. Thus begins an awkward situation that serves as a gauntlet for the passionate story which follows. Notably for a book of this genre, The Master's Violin contains many musings on the nature and value of family, music, parenthood, friendship and life. The reflective and thoughtful narration, along with the poignant descriptions of the master's performances, makes this a unique and memorable story. The author was among the most famous and appreciated novelists of her time. Unusually for a romance author, Reed also published a series of successful cookbooks. Though her fame declined in the years following her death in 1911 at the age of only 36, her books have maintained an appreciative audience into the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fire blazed newly from its embers and set strange shadows to dancing upon thepolished floor. Now and then, there was a gleam from some dark mahogany surface and ananswering flash from a bit of old silver in the cabinet. April, warm with May's promise, came in through the open window, laden with the wholesome fragrance of growing things, and yet, because an old lady loved it, there was a fire upon the hearth and no other light inthe room.She sat in her easy chair, sheltered from possible draughts, and watched it, seeminglyunmindful of her three companions. Tints of amethyst and sapphire appeared in the hazefrom the backlog and were lost a moment later in the dominant flame. In that last hour ofglorious life, the tree was giving back its memories-blue skies, grey days just tinged withgold, lost rainbows, and flashes of sun.Friendly ghosts of times far past were conjured back in shadows-outspread wings, lowlying clouds, and long nights that ended in dawn. Swift flights of birds and wandering craftof thistledown were mirrored for an instant upon the shining floor, and then forgotten, because of falling leaves.Lines of transfiguring light changed the snowy softness of Miss Field's hair to silver, andgave to her hands the delicacy of carved ivory. A tiny foot peeped out from beneath hergown, clad in its embroidered silk stocking and high-heeled slipper, so brave in itstrappings of silver buckles that she might have been eighteen instead of seventy-five.Upon her face the light lay longest; perhaps with an answering love. The years had beenkind to her-had given her only enough bitterness to make her realise the sweetness, andfrom the threads that Life had placed in her hands at the beginning, had taught her how toweave the blessed fabric of Content."Aunt Peace," asked the girl, softly, "have you forgotten that we have company?"Dispelled by the voice, the gracious phantoms of Memory vanished. There was a littlesilence, then the old lady smiled. "No, dearie," she said, "indeed I haven't. It is too rare ablessing for me to forget.""Please don't call us 'company, '" put in the other woman, quickly, "because we're not.""'Company, '" observed the young man on the opposite side of the hearth, "is extremelygood under the circumstances. Somebody nearly breaks down your front door on a rainyafternoon, and when you rush out to save the place from ruin, you discover two drippingtramps on your s

Download or read book Directory of Contemporary American Musical Instrument Makers written by Susan Caust Farrell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique reference book is a compendium of makers and manufacturers of every variety of musical instrument made in the United States today. It provides names and addresses of instrument makers indexed alphabetically. Each entry gives all known information on the total and annual number of instruments the maker has produced, the number of workers in the shop, the year the individual or firm began manufacturing instruments, whether the instruments are available on demand or made to order, and whether a brochure is available from the maker. Complete cross-references are provided for companies known by more than one name, for partnerships, and for parent and subsidiary firms. Instruments are also indexed, and makers are listed by state for the convenience of the reader. Lists of schools of instrument making and relevant organizations and publications are included as appendixes. The directory will serve two major purposes. First, it will be an invaluable source of information for historians and for the rapidly growing number of collectors of musical instruments, who will be able to use the data gathered here in appraising instruments and tracing their history. The second purpose is simply to increase communication among instrument makers and to make their names available to retail and wholesale outlets for their products.
Download or read book Paganini Master of Strings written by Opal Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with warmth and understanding, the present book on Paganini begins with his unhappy childhood along the wharves in Genoa and carries him straight through the tempestuous years when great genius and poverty waged an endless battle, which genius finally won. The boy gave his first concert at eleven, and his success was immediate and brilliant. The later years, however, were given over almost entirely to composing. His compositions were so exquisite and intricate that they became the despair of other musicians, as often only the master was able to play them. Added to a delightful story are some of Paganini's simpler compositions for the young music student to try. It is altogether a perfect biography for the younger group, full of action and exciting adventure, too.

Download or read book Violin Varnish written by Joseph Michelman and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than eight years of extensive research on the varnish used by the Italian Violin Makers from 1550 to 1750 A. D., it has not been possible to corroborate the results in the chemical laboratory. This is due entirely to the unavailability of samples of the varnish for confirmatory analysis. Violins made by the Italian masters of this period are so valuable and so scarce that a small sample of the varnish has not been procurable for experimental purposes. Therefore, synthesis must precede analysis . . . . and with no assistance from the latter. This, then, will explain the sub-title of this book as: "A Plausible Re-creation of the Varnish Used by the Italian Makers Between the Years 1550 and 1750 A. D." However, the results of this investigation are so logical and so deeply supported by a vast amount of convincing evidence, that publication of the book is in order. First, possibly the findings will be confirmed, or otherwise, by investigators who may be more fortunate in having access to material from authentic violins made by the old masters. Confirmatory chemical tests will be suggested; it should be comparatively simple, especially through modern micro-analytical methods, to determine the presence of certain constituents in the varnish. The subject matter of this book will of necessity become technical, especially when the theoretical aspects are considered. It is realized that not everyone who will be interested in the rediscovery of the old Italian varnish will also be interested in the scientific deductions and conclusions. For this reason, a chapter will be included in which the preparation of the materials from which the varnish is made, the formulation of the varnish and its application will be reduced to the simplest terms. The old masters who lived several hundred years ago and who possessed none of the advantages of modern technology also used only the simplest technique in varnishing and finishing their violins.
