The Violin and its Story is a 1905 work by Hyacinth Abele on the history of the violin, exploring its origins, evolution, notable makers and players, and much more. This fascinating volume offers a broad overview of the instrument's history, making it a must-read for new musicians with an interest in the subject. Contents include: The Most Ancient form of Bowed Instrument: The Ravenastron, the Rebek, the Crouth, Introduction of the Rebek into Western Europe by the Arabs, The Gradual Development of the Rebek from the Tenth Century to the Fifteenth Century, Condition of Instrumental Music in the Middle Ages, Sixteenth Century Authors on Music, Virdung, Judenkunig, Etc., etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
