Celebrated Violinists: Past And Present (1897) - Softcover

This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

Lest there be readers of this book who are inclined to cavil because it does not include the name of one or other of their best friends or pet musical gods, I would like to say that though one or two biographical sketches have been added to the original work, yet the book never was intended to be a perfect dictionary of violinists. Dictionaries exist in numbers already. What the present volume aimed at was to give a few more details concerning some of the greatest of stringed instrument players than room could be found for in an ordinary biographical dictionary. It will, I think, be generally conceded, that nx) name of-the first importance has been omitted. In view of latej editions the translator will esteem it a favour if readers will send the corrections of any mistakes to the jJ ublisher. R. H. L.
