Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Violins: And Violin Lore
What is the secret of the violin? Why is it that when a great violinist appears all the other soloists have to take a back seat?
The answer is: the fascination Of the violin is the fascination of the soul unveiled.
No instrument - the human voice hardly excepted provides such a rare vehicle for the emotions - is in such close touch with the molecular vibrations Of thought and with the psychic waves of feeling. But whilst the violin equals the voice in sensibility and expression, it far transcends it in compass, variety, and durability.
