    I ought, perhaps, before proceeding further in what is practically a very late "review" of a work so well known to experienced violinists and concert-goers as this is, to advise those who are perfectly familiar with every bar of it, to skip this portion. But I am mindful of the fact that the keenest and most enthusiastic readers are often young students who are beginning to make their first practical acquaintance with the masterpieces of violin literature. For such, analysis of important works is useful, whilst to experienced and cultured violinists it is a weariness to find such compositions continually being dissected afresh. — trade term as printed: "violinists" (near match, edit distance 3) — surname inherited from the headword at line 1: "Ex. 23 Adagio sostenuto" — from OCR (read_as: ocr)

    "This book of 280 pages is a most interesting and valuable addition to the violinist's library. It contains 89 biographical sketches of well-known artists, ancient and modern, of all nations. This is not intended to be a perfect dictionary of violinists; the aim of the Editor of the present volume being merely to give a few more up-to-date details concerning some of the greatest of stringed instrument players, and we must concede that no name of the first importance has been omitted. Germany is represented by 21 names, Italy by 13, France by 10, England by 4, Bohemia by 8, Belgium by 7, and the fair sex by seven well-known ladies, such as Teresina Tua, Thérèse and Marie Milanollo, Lady Hallé, Marie Soldat, Gabrielle Wietrowetz, and Arma Senkrah. Altogether this is most agreeable reading to the numerous army of violinists, both professionals and amateurs, and after careful examination we can find nothing but praise for this translation into English of a book well known on the Continent.—The Piano, Organ and Music Trades Journal." — trade term as printed: "violinists" (near match, edit distance 3) — surname inherited from the headword at line 16: "PRESS NOTICES." — from OCR (read_as: ocr)
