First published in 1921, "The Heart Of Music" is a detailed account of the colourful history of the violin, from it's earliest ancestors and predecessors to modern makers and masters. This fascinating volume will appeal to those with an interest in the violin and its long history, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "In the Beginning", "The Lyre of the World", "The Star of Shame", "Dream Message", "In Pagan Rome", "The Dark Days", "With Rebeck and Viol", "The Troubadour's Fiddle", "Further Adventures of the Viol", "The Lute-Maker of Tyrol", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the violin.
