The Historical Progress Of Violin Technique From Paganini To Heifetz, Horace I. Brown

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In 1817, at the height of his career, Paganini was invited to play in Vienna. This invitation was considered, by him, an important honor. Not only was it issued by the celebrated Count Metternich, but also, the play in Vienna, the centre of German musical culture, was the aspiration of every performing artist of the time.

Spohr was the accepted master of the German violin world and Paganini had many misgivings concerning the reception which might be accorded an Italian violinist with a strange, and hitherto unheard of, style. Spohr and Paganini had met in Venice and had not found …

The History Of The Viola And An Analysis Of Its Literature, Clifford A. Brau

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The origin of the viola, like the violin, is still a puzzle to our musical historians and archaeologists. True, they realize that the first real viola and violin made its appearance on the musical horizon about the middle of the 16th century in Italy. And they know also that they did not spring into existence - to use a familiar phrase, like rabbits out of a magician’s hat. Their gradual development from inferior forms of bow instruments is proved beyond doubt, and has been traced, more or less clearly, for centuries back, with the help of such instruments of monuments, …

Ethnologically, Mexican Nationalism includes elements of Spanish, Indian, and mestizo culture. During the century following Independence as well as during Spanish domination the art and music of both Indians and mestizos were thrust aside in favour …
