About this book
Before the cello came the viola da gamba, and Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski places a history of that instrument ahead of his history of the violoncello, which he treats as its successor. He drew on musical dictionaries and on the old and new cello music in Friedrich Grützmacher's collection. Isobella S. E. Stigand's English translation of 1894 comes with musical examples and a portrait of the cellist Robert Lindley; her preface notes that no English book on the subject existed before.
