I wondrous thing history, yet even better is the lineage of a favored instrument, the venerable violin. Now I'm going to have to dig even deeper since your mention of the bows development has fostered even greater scope in the range and focus of the instrument. Such joy in learning more about one of the most fabled of all stringed instruments. Wishing you the very best of days ahead.
I'm confused. In one part, he says that the violin only made 4 or 5 changes from Baroque to Modern violins. But then how did all the composers change it? How did Paganini get a richer sounding violin? What changes were made there? And so on for all the other composers as well.
Misconceptions that the Baroque's neck has a "straight" orientation to the instrument's body: There actually is a downward slant of Baroque violins' necks. It's just at a lesser degree of an angle than we see on the "modern" violins. The fretboard-side of the Baroque-necks are rather tapered. These necks are thicker ( more so near the body), thus having a unique feel and playability; as well as just the concept of having a lower "bridge height."
There are some mistakes on the description of bows. The "Tartini's bows" were not "long" at all... We know from plenty of recent research, that many Italian violinist were preferring the shortest version of a baroque bow.
Pottery figurine of a man playing a violin type insrument WITH BOW of the 3ceNTURY Bc found at Abdira Greece , at display at the archaeological museum of Kaballa Greece (exhibit number E 193 ) visit and see !!! there are more proofs , later !
Nice class, but totally eurocentric. All bowed instruments came to Europe from the african islamic mourish People. They have beem used since de 9 century in Persia and spreaded in Europe because of The Islamic Caliphates in Portugal and Spain
The instrument painted by Rafael is a lira da braccio, and they're not sympathetic strings. although they're not fingered, they are played on. Da Vinci played this instrument, he is depicted playing it. The violin did NOT evolve from the viola da gamba. He throws around and mixes up a lot of terms with myriad suppositions and lets "we can see" suffice for evidence.
Before Sphor’s chinrest they had another chinrest that was on the edge. The problem was that the chin still had contact to the top reducing the tone and causing a crack. Please do the research before talking out of your “As-“
This is all rubbish the violin is an instrument that its origins in older instruments that were similar brought by the Arabs to Europe from the east. The rebab with turned into rebec than eventually was developed into the violin in italy.
I recommend this video to anyone suffering like me doing general knowledge for an exam… wish me luck
Very helpful and educational. Thank you very much.
