| Description |
Half leather (rubbed, corners bumped) with marbled boards. Some light foxing. Engraved. "It is significant of the changing times that Viotti, an Italian who came to Paris about the same time, nurtured the French school of Baillot, Rode, and Kreutzer, a school that exerted a most important influence on violin technique in the nineteenth century. Paganini, the last of the great Italian violinists, was the star and symbol of nineteenth-century violin virtuosity, but the true teacher of the nineteenth-century violinist was Baillot, a Frenchman” (David Boyden, The History of Violin Playing from its Origins to 1761, Oxford 1965, p.315). |
