Reviews
Succeeds in emphasizing the versatility and global reach of the instrument to readers in the early stages of exploring these topics. Though Riggs devotes space to non-Western genres, the majority of the book systematically presents "standard" violin repertoire...[Includes] a useful guide for violinists interested in reading fiction related to their instrument. MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NOTES Fascinating... Riggs presents a wealth of information...written in a reader friendly style. EARLY MUSIC If you wish to know more about its 'virtuous and rascally associations,' (indeed the violin was long associated with the devil), this enjoyable treatise will enlighten, entertain and educate. AUSTA STRINGENDO Casts a wide net. There are chapters on violins and violinists in literature, the violin's association with death and the devil, recordings as documentation of performance practice, and the violin's adoption by different cultures.
