About this book
The Violin, by George Dubourg, gives some account of that leading instrument and its most eminent professors, from its earliest date to the present time, with hints to amateurs and anecdotes. The book is a fourth edition, revised and considerably enlarged. The preface says that nearly sixteen years had passed since the work first appeared in print.
The text quotes M. Fétis describing the cruth as a bowed instrument which is thought to have been the origin of the viola and violin. The text says that De Beriot, wishing to know what advantage he might obtain from its processes, had some conversations with its inventor and learned from it little more than two things. An account of a woman says she was born at Mantua in 1764 and received her musical education at the Conservatorio della Pietà, at Venice.
