Wieniawski
Henry Wieniawski, renowned Polish violinist and composer, was born in Lublin in 1835 and died in Moscow in 1880. The great Paganini exerted a strong influence on his life. The youngest student ever to enter the Paris Conservatoire (he was only eight!), Wieniawski studied under Lambert Massart, and in 1846, at the age of 11, was awarded first prize in violin. During the years 1851 to 1853, Wieniawski gave some 200 concerts in Russia with his younger brother. By 1853 he had composed and published 14 opus numbers, including the Polonaise no. 1, the "Souvenir de Moscou," several mazurkas, and the Violin Concerto no. 1 in F-sharp minor. Anton Rubinstein said of him that he was "without doubt, the greatest violinist of his day." Certainly, among the violinists of the generation after Paganini, Wieniawski must be ranked very near the top. This book is the only biography in English of the great Polish virtuoso, and contains hundreds of rare photos and other materials, some of which have never been published before. - Back cover.

The Violin
The violin was first mentioned in a book in the sixteenth century. An abundant and diverse literature on the instrument has grown since then, and a complete general guide to these materials has not been produced in the modern era. The last, Edward Heron-Allen's De Fidiculis Bibliographia , was published in1894. This book fills that void, organizing and annotating information on the violin from a variety of fields and sources. It provides a comprehensive, though selective, guide to all facets of the instrument. The book is divided into 4 main parts: Reference and General Studies; Acoustics and Construction; Violin Playing, Performance Practice, and Music; and Violinists, Composers, and Violin Teachers. It will serve as a ready reference for students and scholars, and is a welcome addition to the esteemed Routledge Music Bibliography series.
