“Famous Violinists for Young People” is a fantastic book that sets out to inform the novice violin player of the colourful history of their chosen instrument as well as the notable players that have contributed to it. This volume constitutes a must-read for new players and those with an interest in learning about some of the world's most accomplished violinists. Content include: “How Did the Violin Begin?”, “What is a Violin?”, “Violin Makers”, “Violin Music & Violin Players”, “Arcangelo Corelli”, “Antonio Vivaldi”, “Giuseppe Tartini”, “Giovanni Battista Viotti”, “Niccolo Paganini”, “Louis Spohr”, “Ole Borneman Bull”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
