7Hon. President of the College of Violinists
9The high reputation which your compositions for the violin have obtained in this country, and, indeed, in every quarter of the civilised world, induces me to dedicate to you the following pages.
11That the name of so celebrated a musician should adorn this modest little volume is perhaps more than it deserves, since you are the direct descendant of the immortal Corelli, Tartini, and Viotti, and, like them, have caused the beneficent influence of Italian music to spread around the globe for the delight and welfare of mankind. But I take advantage of our long and affectionate friendship to inscribe here a name so universally beloved and admired.
