With antecedents shared by numerous cultures reaching back to humankind's earliest and most primitive music, the modern violin appeared in a sleepy Northern Italian town in the mid-sixteenth century, creating one of the great miracles of Western Art. In the opening lecture of our lecture series, The Magnificent Violin: Its Music, Composers, and Performers, violinist Aaron Boyd traces the violin’s history from its hazy origins to its apogee in the hands of Antonio Stradivari, Antonio Vivaldi, and J. S. Bach, examining the creative synergy between the instrument’s earliest performers and composers.
