This volume is from our series of carefully-selected historical publications on the subject of violins. The titles in this range include "A Guide to Violin Strings" "A History of Violins in England" "Antonio Stradivari and His Violins" and many more. Each publication has been professionally curated and includes all details on the original source material. This particular installment, "Paganini and the Violin" contains information on the life and successes of the famous Italian composer. It is intended to illustrate aspects of Paganini's life and serves as a guide for anyone wishing to obtain a general knowledge of the subject and understand the field in its historical context. Vintage publications such as these are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are publishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
