Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cremona: An Account of the Italian Violin-Makers and Their Instruments Although many experts have already set forth the result of their knowledge and skill in publications of more or less merit on the subject of bowed instruments, there is still a want which it would be as desirable as praiseworthy to supply, that is, as regards the characteristic features of the Italian masters of the art of violin-making. The Author has set himself the task of collecting, as much from the actual instruments themselves, as from ancient and modern literature, both foreign and native, the names of the masters with the greatest possible accuracy and care, and also of describing the work of each individual. He has omitted -to dwell upon those stringed instruments which preceded the violin, and from which it may have been developed, because those materials have been sufficiently dealt with 5 and he begins with the origin of the violin itself, so that the reader may learn how to estimate the genuineness and the value of the Italian instruments, so far as it may be possible from the description accorded to them. Although many instruments have passed through the Author's hands, he is still far from saying that he has seen all those which are described here. He mentions with peculiar pleasure an excellent work from which he has learnt much, and of which he has made use, and he can do this with the greater confidence because the author of that work is known to him personally as an authority of the first rank in his art. The title of this work is The Violin its Famous Makers and their Imitators, by George Hart. London, 187 5.

CONCLUSION. fLN order to form some definite conception of the * general characteristics of the varnishes of the old violin-makers, the only practicable method (for persons who have not unlimited time at their disposal) is to study the descriptions given by experts, whose vocation has given them opportunities for examining many examples of the work of the different masters, or by musicians (professional or amateur) whose enthusiasm has led them to take an intelligent interest in the instruments on which they have played or which have come under their notice. Some quotations have already been given from acknowledged authorities; if these are read, with or without reference to the voluminous and discursive literature on the subject, one idea will be found to be generally prevalent--viz., that the old Italian varnishes, covering musical instruments, were something special, different from those which are found in the world on other articles; that they had a common basis peculiar to themselves. Mr. Hart writes: -- "Every instrument belonging to the school of "Cremona has it, more or less, in all its marvellous "beauty" (35). . . . "These varnishes" (Brescian, Cremonese, Neapolitan and Venetian) "are quite "separable in one particular, which is the depth of "their colouring; and yet three of them, the Brescian, "Cremonese, and Venetian, have to all appearance "a common basis." . . . "If we examine the "Brescian varnish, we find an almost complete "resemblance between the material of Gaspard di "Salo and that of his coadjutors, the colouring only "being different. Upon turning to the Cremonese, "we find that Joseph Guarnerius, Stradiuarius, Carlo "Bergonzi and a few others used varnish having the "same characteristics, but again...

Book excerpt: Violins and Violin Makers Biographical Dictionary of the Great Italian Artistes their Followers and Imitators With essays on important subjects connected with the violin By Joseph Pearce The Violin is an instrument which, though small and of trifling original cost, has yet commanded most extraordinary prices. The reason of the immense difference in the value of these instruments must therefore be a subject possessing strong claims to notice from virtuoso and amateur. To distinguish by the outward characteristics and peculiarities of tone, that which will be of pecuniary value to the possessor, and yield the utmost delight to the hearer, is an acquirement at once difficult to obtain and very valuable when obtained. To assist the amateur and collector in this pursuit is the object of the present little work. Such a work has long been a desideratum. Of late years, the History of the Violin and its congeners has received much attention. Elaborate and costly treatises have been published, some of which being written in Foreign tongues, are exceedingly difficult to obtain, and not accessible to many of those who desire to peruse them, on that account. Others are very imperfect and unsatisfying. Others again, are, from their high price, beyond the reach of the greater number of amateurs. The present work is intended chiefly for the use of those who desire a handy guide to the principal characteristics both of make and tone which mark the chief builders of this most famous instrument. Many persons anxious to possess a good instrument, and led away by the very natural desire to possess an Amati, a Guarnerius, or a Stradiuarius are tempted into purchasing Violins which are presented to them under false and delusive titles, and reject frequently good and genuine instruments of less famous makers, but still valuable because they are good and genuine. Undoubted specimens of the great masters are now very rarely to be had, unless at a very high price. Yet, when we consider that even Stradiuarius himself obtained no more than four pounds for his best instruments, which now command as many hundreds--it is evident that, in the absence of those great productions, the works of his pupils and successors are well worthy the attention of amateurs. There is no doubt, indeed, that many of these, which from being built on his principles are of first-rate quality, have been sold as those of the master himself. It cannot, therefore, be questioned that a knowledge which will lead the amateur to buy an instrument for what it really is, instead of what it professes to be, will at once save him from the unpleasantness of paying too dearly, and in real enjoyment yield all that can be desired. The author believes he has in this work given the amateur and connoisseur information not easily attainable elsewhere, but as he is fully conscious that there may be imperfections in it still, he will be glad to receive any suggestions or information which may enable him to render it still more complete.
