The Cambridge Companion to the Violin published by Cambridge.

Edited by Robin Stowell
The Cambridge Companion to the Violin offers students, performers, and scholars a fascinating and composite survey of the history and repertory of the instrument from its origins to the present day. The volume comprises fifteen essays, written by a team of ten specialists, and is intended to develop the violin's historical perspective in breadth and from every relevant angle. The main subjects discussed include the instrument's structure and development; its fundamental acoustical properties; principal exponents; technique and teaching methods; solo and ensemble repertory; pedagogical literature; traditions in folk music and jazz; and aspects of historical performing practice.
