Tartini

"This book, Tartini: his life and times, is a translation from the Russian book of the same title by Prof. Dr. Lev Ginsburg. Ginsburg is unquestionably the leading musicologist of the world dealing with the history of bowed instruments and composers of music for these same instruments. Greatly enhanced with illustrations and music, the present edition brings Tartini's life up to date and illustrates the important position he occupied in helping the violin to mature."--Publisher's description.
