Product description

Stradivari died in 1737, within about a decade after his death, the leading makers of not only Cremona, but the world, were gone. It was the end of an era. The Italian violin making centers were caught up with the other great movements of the times, the demise of "Cremona" was like the passage of a season, merely a natural transition to the next stage of existence. If it can be said that after Cremona’s "golden Age", violin making became retroactive in style, it can also be said that optimism and innovation moved further north, and on into France. With the establishment of the Conservatoire, and the concentration of "lutherie" in the city, Paris became Europe’s new violin capital, its new "Cremona".

In "A.C. After Cremona", John Huber presents this fascinating history of modern violin making. As in his first Book about the history of violin making before Cremona, the author illustrates instrument development with photographic examples of ancient stringed Instruments.

Printed in English.
