3THE VIOLIN AND ITS MUSIC,
4BY
5GEORGE HART,
6Illustrated with several Steel Engravings of eminent Violinists.
8"The broad range of interest in the book which appears at the very beginning, and the evident appreciation of the romantic, as well as the practical side of the question, shows that the man is not merged in the specialist, and that outsiders, as well as experts, may look to find amusement as well as instruction therein. The range of the book is of the widest."—Saturday Review.
10"A sufficient account is given of the various schools of composers and virtuosi in the musical countries of Europe, from Corelli down to Vieuxtemps and Joachim. The author's judgment is in most cases fair and unbiased, and his diction agreeably free from the current jargon of musical criticism. . . . . . . The value of Mr. Hart's volume is increased by carefully engraved portraits of Corelli, Viotti, Paganini, and other masters."—Times.

22"The book is as nearly exhaustive as possible, far exceeding any previous attempt of the kind."—Academy.
24"Mr. Hart is an authority on this subject who commands general respect, and the volume in which he has embodied the results of his experience and researches will be gratefully received by all who take an interest in what he justly calls the leading instrument."—Saturday Review.
26"Mr. Hart possesses a rare knowledge of Italian Violins, and the practical parts of his book are for the most part interesting and original."—Times.
28"Mr. Hart's book is enjoyable not only to the professional but to the amateur, and it is a most exhaustive account of an extensive subject."—New York Herald.
