"Famous Violinists of To-day and Yesterday" by Henry Charles Lahee is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an overview of notable violinists from different eras, tracing their contributions to music and the development of violin playing. Lahee organizes the narrative chronologically, focusing on the many celebrated performers rather than delving deeply into the lives of only a few. At the start of this account, Lahee establishes the profound emotional impact of the violin and discusses its historical evolution, emphasizing the craft of violin making that blossomed in Italy during the 15th to 18th centuries. He notes the transition from the early development of the violin to its rise as a solo instrument, highlighting key figures such as Andrea Amati and Antonio Stradivari. The opening also references influential violinists like Baltazarini and John Banister, detailing their struggles for recognition and the societal perceptions of violinists during their time. Overall, the beginning serves to set the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the art and history of violin performance through various significant artists.
