Numerous Opinions and judgements on the subject of violins are based upon this book. The encyclopedia not only contains the great Italian makers but also those of lesser repute. More that 300 famous violins are described and the instruments chosed are representative examples of the maker's work and not some unusual or uncharacteristic specimen. Special attention has been put on the quality of the photographs and illustrations assembled in order to show the details of F holes and C-bouts. A total of 148 violin makers from the 17th century up until 1930. Text in English,German, French and Italian.

The collection, assembled over the course of the last century through generous gifts of instruments and funds to the school, is vividly represented by photographic and narrative accounts of 25 instruments (and three bows) of particular historic interest by such illustrious makers as Amati, Bergonzi, Guadagnini, Guarneri, Stradivari, and others, as well as reproductions of historic documents and an annotated list of other instruments and bows. Among the featured instruments are a Stradivarius violin that once belonged to a Russian czar and was later owned by Avery Fisher, a Guarneri del Gesù violin played by a member of the Viennese quartet that premiered many of Beethoven’s and Schubert’s works in that genre, and a Stradivarius cello previously owned by Hugo Becker, head of the Berlin Hochschule für Musik. Short essays sketch the history of Juilliard and its illustrious string department, and describe the crucial role of the Instrumental Loan Program, which allows students to borrow instruments for special performances and competitions as well as for longer-term use. The book includes a forward by renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman, a Juilliard alumnus and holder of the school’s Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation Chair since 1999. Bio: Lisa B. Robinson is senior writer for special projects and proposals at the Juilliard School, where she has been employed since 2000.

Violinist and educator Efrem Zimbalist (1890-1985) led a legendary life in music in an age of violin legends. Of the dazzling stars to emerge from the Russian School at the beginning of the 20th century, Zimbalist earned a special place. David Oistrakh compared him to Heifetz: “While Heifetz conquered by sheer brilliance, Zimbalist captivated people by appealing to profound mysteries of heart and soul.” Zimbalist was also one of the century’s great teachers, for 40 years devoting himself to the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, serving as its director from 1941 to 1968. His was a remarkable journey, fortunately recounted in hundreds of hours of taped interviews with author and Curtis Institute student Malan, longtime concertmaster of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. Malan then waited nearly a decade after Zimbalist’s death before seeking publication, so that the story could be told in its entirety. This definitive biography of the world’s first globe-trotting virtuoso also includes a discography and a list of Zimbalist’s students. 372 pp, 65 b/w photos, 6 x 9"", hardcover" 5 10100221F.jpg 10100221TH2.jpg 10100221F2.jpg 10100221TH3.jpg 10100221F3.jpg 10100221TH4.jpg 10100221F4.jpg blank.gif blank.gif 10100222 General 29.95 Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist 10100222.jpg "By: Anthony Feinstein. This first, authorized biography of one of the 20th century’s greatest violinists chronicles the life of Michael Rabin from his young boyhood to his premature death at the age of 35. By his teen years in the 1950s, he had already joined the ranks of violin greats and he was being compared to Heifetz, Milstein, Stern, and Francescatti. Lovingly detailed, rich in music history and drama, this biography documents the many forces that shaped Rabin’s extraordinary life and career, from his meteoric rise to his surprising decline. Feinstein charts Rabin’s many artistic successes, as well as his struggles to make the transition from wunderkind to adult virtuoso, and sheds light on the true reasons for his fall from grace, debunking the many rumors that surrounded him during that time. Feinstein also clarifies the facts relating to Rabin’s sudden death. What emerges is a unique profile of a prodigious talent and a tragic life. 350pp, 30 b/w photos, 6 x 9"", hardcover" 5 10100222F.jpg 10100222TH2.jpg 10100222F2.jpg 10100222TH3.jpg 10100222F3.jpg 10100222TH4.jpg 10100222F4.jpg 10100222TH5.jpg 10100222F5.jpg 10100223 General 34.95 "Fritz Kreisler: Love's Sorrow, Love's Joy" 10100223.jpg "By: Amy Biancolli.

Mischa Mischakoff, widely considered the world’s finest concertmaster in the mid-twentieth century and called “Toscanini’s third hand” by critics and conductors, enjoyed a seven-decade career in the first chair. This biography by his daughter, also containing many passages in his own words, describes that career in Russia, Poland, and the top orchestras of America. It highlights as well the personal traits and experiences that made Mischakoff so outstanding as a concertmaster and that sustained him through revolutions, wars, and the politics of the world of music. The memoir is enlivened by the recollections of his family and students and some hundred photographs of Mischakoff and the conductors and musicians with whom he worked. Two cadenzas written for him by Arturo Toscanini, as well as Mischakoff’s own markings for a violin solo in Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben, are published here for the first time. An accompanying CD features excerpts of Mischakoff’s playing in his divergent roles as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and concertmaster.
