1CHAPTER V.
3SOME MORE NAMES AND ONE FAMOUS ONE:
4THE OLD-TIME VIRTUOSO.
6There are yet, independent of the classical schools of Corelli, Tartini, Somis, Vivaldi, and Pugnani, a number of Italian violinists who shone for a time with greater or less brilliancy; but I shall have to content myself again with only quoting their names, leaving the reader to acquaint himself, if he so chooses, with the particulars of their lives (as far as they are known), in the pages of the oft-mentioned exhaustive work by Wasielewski.1 This author I also follow in the chronological arrangement of the names. They are:—
8Francesco Mori (born in London 1793, died 1842). For a short time pupil of Viotti; conductor of the Philharmonic Concerts.
10Gian Pietro Guignon (born 1702 at Turin, died 1774 or 1775, in Paris). The last "king of violinists" of minstrel fame.
121 Die Violine und ihre Meister; and also Fétis, in Biographie Universelle des Musiciens.
