The book, written by Victor Carroll Squier, delves into the life of Stradivari, exploring his family background, his apprenticeship with Nicolo Amati, and his rise to fame as one of the most renowned violin makers in history. Squier provides detailed descriptions of Stradivari's instruments, including violins, cellos, and violas, and the various techniques and materials he used to create them. The book also covers the historical and cultural context of Stradivari's work, including the rise of the baroque period and the development of the modern orchestra. In addition to the technical aspects of Stradivari's craft, Squier also explores the personal and professional relationships that shaped his life, including his marriage to Francesca Ferraboschi and his interactions with other famous musicians of the time. Overall, Antonio Stradivari: His Life and Work 1644-1737 is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of music, the art of instrument making, or the life of one of the most celebrated figures in classical music history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
