Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an intriguing discourse on the history of bowed string instruments. Traditionally, it is believed that the violin originated in Italy, but the author suggests that its roots may extend much further back to humble beginnings in ancient India. The author bases his arguments on the existence of the ravanastron, a primitive stringed instrument played with a bow, which is still used by Indian musicians today. The author traces the evolution of bowed instruments from the ravanastron through its migration to Persia and Arabia, and its eventual arrival in Europe through Islamic conquests. Along the way, he explores the interplay between these instruments, musical innovation, and cultural exchange, providing a fresh perspective on the development of the violin family.
