{"product_id":"the-violin-mark-katz-9780815336372","title":"The Violin: A Research and Information Guide","description":"The violin was first mentioned in a book in the sixteenth century. An abundant and diverse literature on the instrument has grown since then, and a complete general guide to these materials has not been produced in the modern era. The last, Edward Heron-Allen's De Fidiculis Bibliographia, was published in1894. This book fills that void, organizing and annotating information on the violin from a variety of fields and sources. It provides a comprehensive, though selective, guide to all facets of the instrument. The book is divided into 4 main parts: Reference and General Studies; Acoustics and Construction; Violin Playing, Performance Practice, and Music; and Violinists, Composers, and Violin Teachers. It will serve as a ready reference for students and scholars, and is a welcome addition to the esteemed Routledge Music Bibliography series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815336373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815336372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.38w x 1.03d","brand":"Mark Katz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086930882815,"sku":"9780815336372","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52a6b673-b373-4387-86c2-7f46ebe2cc2e.jpg?v=1769097351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-violin-mark-katz-9780815336372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
