Before The Chinrest : A Violinist's Guide To The Mysteries Of Pre-Chinrest Technique and Style.

The violin chinrest was not invented until around 1820, but much of the greatest music composed for violin was written beforehand. The author of this book uses the teachings of Francesco Geminiani as a basis for discussion of playing the violin without the support of the chinrest. With a preface, introduction, notes and index. Music examples.
