Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z But the Cremona school came to a culmination in the works of the pupil of Nicolo Amati—Antonio Stradivari, 1649-1737.

Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It is wholly uncertain to what extent the peculiarities of the Stradivari instruments were matters of deduction and how far accidental. A Popular History of the Art of Music From the Earliest Times Until the Present At one period he owned twelve Stradivari Violins, and nearly the same number by Giuseppe Guarneri, all high-class instruments. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators "This instrument shall be yours," said Pasini, placing in his hands an excellent Stradivari, "if you can play, in a masterly manner, this concerto, at first sight." Famous Violinists of To-day and Yesterday We only know that Stradivari's first wife died, after a marriage lasting thirty-four years. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 We may, I think, safely assume that so far from loosely and superficially instructing his pupils, Stradivari's tuition was of a deeper, far-reaching kind than has ever been suspected. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Above all things, above Charlotta his wife, Herr Altgelt loved his violin, a fine Cremona pattern, Stradivari's life Was flowering out of early discipline When this was fashioned.

Famous Violinists of To-day and Yesterday She died at the age of seventy-three, and Stradivari survived her less than one year; this may have been because he was overcome with grief; or because he was already nearly ninety years of age. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 Its paternal name was Stradivari, people trouble themselves very little about the prefix Antonio, common enough in Italy, and which was the Christian name given him by his parents. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Of course Cutty had heard of Amati and Stradivari, master and pupil. The Drums of Jeopardy Doubtless its owner believed he was selling a brand-new copy, instead of a "Stradivari" made in 1704, in a state of perfection. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators There is some possibility of Thomas Balestrieri, of Mantua, having worked for a time under Stradivari, but not as a pupil; there is much in his work suggestive of this theory. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The great Antonio Stradivari, however, began his love-making like David Copperfield, by falling in love with a woman ten years his senior, when he was only seventeen. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 Stradivari left no evidence of this, nor are any distinct traces left inside or out that would betray the manner, kind of tool, or direction of working. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z He may have gone as help to Stradivari—for loose as was his general tendency, he could work finely when the fit was on him. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Thereupon out went M. Vuillaume, half-dressed, and the pair gloated over a rare sight, a Stradivari Violin, the interior of which was intact from the maker's hands. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Nevertheless there is much indication, and such as cannot be passed over, of the influence of Stradivari among the aristocracy of the business there. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z A family of almost equal fame was the group of violin makers of Cremona, the Stradivari. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 This is seldom if at all to be observed in any of Stradivari's work, he seems to have taken every possible precaution for preventing change in aspect after the instrument had received his final touches. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It has before been referred to that the sons of Stradivari worked with him for many years. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z As far as the work goes, you may know from this instrument how a brand-new Stradivari Violin looked. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Anyhow, so it was, and Stradivari seems to have been no exception to the general rule. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z She was nine or ten years older than Stradivari, and they were married on July 4, 1667. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 Stradivari started forth from his master's house with full confidence in having a true and good grasp of the wants of the moment and those looming in the future. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z But if there ever was an instance in which this motto could with strictest appropriateness be applied, it was the work of Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The pupils of the Amati, Stradivari, and Guarneri settled in Milan, Florence, and other cities previously mentioned as centres of Violin-making, and thus formed the distinct character or School belonging to each city. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators We may now retrace our steps for awhile and take up another thread of the fabric of Stradivari's individuality, that which is in fact by dealers ignored and by players adored. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z After him came Rameau, who, like Stradivari, fell in love with a widow while he was still in his teens and she well out of hers. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 These violins are not very rare as compared with the total work of Stradivari extant. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It was at this time that Stradivari probably made more new moulds or blocks on which to construct, than at any other. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The varnish of Bergonzi is often fully as resplendent as that of Giuseppe Guarneri or Stradivari, and shows him to have been initiated in the mysteries of its manufacture. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Both Stradivari and his teacher must have been well acquainted with the different high and low modelling of Gasparo da Salo, as well as that of his pupil Maggini, and others. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z There have been married lives of mixed nature, neither failure nor success, such as the careers of Lully, Rameau, Stradivari, and Wagner. The Love Affairs of Great Musicians, Volume 2 These instruments—Stradivari is known to have made a quartette of them for the Spanish court—are of the greatest rarity. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z This, by the bye, disposes of any theory that Stradivari's distinctive quality of tone resulted, as is often stated, from his adopting a different elevation to what had been in use before. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Alessandro Gagliano, upon leaving the workshop of Stradivari, removed to Naples, a city which afforded him greater scope for the exercise of his talents than Cremona. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Stradivari seems to have had some feeling of contentment with it, for although little differences of measurement in minute particulars occur afterwards, no modification in character is attempted. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Rumour has brought forth another name as pupil or workman with Stradivari, and whose identification with some fine specimens of the liutaro's art may yet prove an interesting study. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z They are said to be all known, but this statement seems open to question when coupled with the assertion that Stradivari made other similar but very small violins. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z A fine specimen, and well known, of Stradivari's art was once lying on a table before me. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z His sound-hole is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and may be said to come between that of Niccolò Amati and Stradivari, being of the most delicate execution. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Too much importance has been attached by critics to the presence of this wood in Stradivari's violins. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Unfortunately for some would-be Stradivaris, the particulars of the tonal difference were copied loosely and reversed and so came "confusion worse confounded." Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z There is one particular part of the finishing of the violin which calls for remark, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary must be put to the responsibility of Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z A few words about the interior of Stradivari's instruments; one kind of work is perceptible in all of them. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It is in his instruments that we discover the form of sound-hole which Niccolò Amati improved, and, after him, the inimitable Stradivari perfected. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators With Stradivari all is well done, the blocks, end and corner ones are carefully faced and have little, if any can be seen, of the tool marks left upon them. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The subtle curvings of the ribs of an Amati, and more so of a Stradivari, almost precluded the use of a very thick material, especially so when the curl or figure was bold and elaborate. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Once begun, however, Stradivari seems to have persistently held to it. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z In consonance with this, we find with Stradivari that the thin plate or veneer from which the ribs have been cut is not thick, but of accurate and equal measurement along its course. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Niccolò Amati was the greatest maker in his illustrious family, and the finest of his instruments are second only to those of his great pupil, Antonio Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The third is the scroll, in which Guarneri is as distinct from Stradivari as it is possible to be. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators We should then have inherited a store from which our coming Violinists and Violoncellists could have possessed themselves of splendid instruments, when those of Guarneri and Stradivari were placed far beyond reach. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Other makers of renown, besides Stradivari, adopted this method of putting the final touches to their work, Giuseppe Guarneri, I.H.S., Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z To return to the subject of this present notice: it is evident that when Montagnana left the workshop of Stradivari, he gave full scope to his creative powers. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Where Niccolò Amati failed, Stradivari conquered; and particularly is this victory to be seen in the scrolls of his instruments during the first period, which are masterpieces in themselves. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators If comparison be made between the work of Stradivari and that of Domenico Montagnana, with regard to detail, the two makers will not be found to have much in common. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators It is when Montagnana's instrument is viewed as a whole that the teaching of Stradivari is evidenced. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators These, then, appear to be the cogent reasons for the adoption of the medium rise in the modelling by Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The sound-hole partakes more of the character of Guarneri; the scroll is larger, and the turns bolder than in the Stradivari form. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Beside Stradivari, many makers of less importance followed the "grand Amati" pattern, among whom may be mentioned Jacobs, of Amsterdam, who takes a prominent place as a copyist. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators This maker was one of the most successful followers of Antonio Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Although many interesting particulars concerning Antonio Stradivari have been obtained from time to time, there is wanting that which alone can fully satisfy his admirers, viz., connected records of the chief events of his life. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The sound holes now received further attention and, it might be almost said, for the last time, as they were continued to the end of Stradivari's career with no particular or intentional modification. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z He regarded the works of Stradivari with the utmost veneration. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Had Giuseppe Guarneri received his early instructions from Stradivari, should we not expect his instruments to bear the character of the master in some slight degree? The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Miremont has made several excellent Violins, copies of Stradivari and Guarneri. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The instruments of this maker are chiefly of large size, the outline being after that of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators THE period 1700-15 or thereabouts, found Stradivari not only an acknowledged master of his craft but among his contemporaries recognised as the head. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It may be said of him, as of many others, that extreme fineness of work is obtained often at the expense of character; to develop both qualities needs the mind of a Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The most diligent student will, however, fail to discover an early work of Guarneri bearing any likeness whatever to the work of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Tarisio's attention being directed to it by his friend, he calmly answered him that "he would sooner possess one 'Stradivari' than twenty such equipages." The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Tarisio came in from Italy, and his eye lighted instantly on the Stradivari belly. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators As Stradivari left no record behind as to the number of pupils trained on his premises, or assistants who came perhaps as improvers, we are left to do our best in the way of inference. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It is related of him that upon one occasion he disposed of a beautiful Stradivari, in perfect preservation, to a Paris dealer. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The faint gleam of similarity, then, attaching to the instruments of the second epoch, be it understood, is in no way sufficient to demonstrate that Guarneri was a pupil of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Its present purchasing power would probably be three times as much, and therefore the sum asked by Paolo Stradivari would be equal to £38 12s. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In others there is merit of a high order—the pattern is large, broad between the sound-holes, and very flat in model, and resembling the form of Stradivari rather than that of Amati. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators That the violin bridge especially was a production of the Stradivari establishment and not "made in Germany," is sufficiently indicated by its present form having been introduced by Stradivari. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The sound-holes are broader and more perpendicular than those of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators His Violins are chiefly of the model of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The Grancino family, as makers of Violins, commence with this maker, and occupy a similar position, as followers of the Amati pattern, to that of the Gagliani as imitators of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The scroll is certainly not an imitation of that of Stradivari; it has considerable originality, and is more attractive on that account than for its beauty. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Assuming the above view to be reasonable, the number of new instruments which left the Stradivari house must have been very large. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z He says: "He imitated Stradivari, but avoided close imitation of all detail, and prided himself on not being a mere copyist." The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Said to have been a pupil of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The scroll may be described as a rough imitation of that of Stradivari, and to partake generally of the character of the Stradivarian scroll from the date of 1728. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators There are three essential points of difference between Guarneri and Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators That there were keen connoisseurs living at the time of Stradivari, as also in the previous century and earlier, there is no room for doubting. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z There has ever been a diversity of purpose with these Guarneri imitators, distinct from those of Stradivari and others. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The payment in connection with this transaction was arranged by the banker Carlo Carli, which gave rise to the inventory upon which M. Fétis based his statement as to the age of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In passing, it may be observed that Stradivari died December 18, 1737, and therefore the year mentioned by his son Paolo was only incorrect by thirteen days. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Enough has been said to enable the reader to recognise the connection which must have existed between Amati and Stradivari, to admit of such marked resemblances. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators We thus see when a handsome, fairly worn specimen of Stradivari's work comes under our notice, the different pieces of tell-tale evidence, varying of course in degree with each instrument. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z This purchase, made about fourteen years after Stradivari began to manufacture on his own account, well marks the progress he made. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In the month of May, 1776, negotiations were entered upon with Paolo Stradivari, relative to the tools, which led to their being sold. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators We find that the Count had two distinct transactions, directly or indirectly, with the family of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The life of Antonio Stradivari was as tranquil as his calling was peaceful. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Stradivari may have tried this and perhaps, for once at least, met with failure. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z It would therefore appear that Stradivari purposed presenting the instruments to Philip either in July or October, 1702. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators It may be remarked that the honour conferred upon Stradivari was equivalent to appointing him maker to the Archbishop. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The blending of the names of Stradivari, Augustus, and Veracini, serves to carry our thoughts into channels overflowing with interesting musical records. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Veracini was appointed solo Violinist in 1720 to Augustus, and the instruments which Stradivari made for the King were, therefore, only five years old. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators All the details of scroll carving by Stradivari at this period are marvels of mechanical dexterity of handling. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The order given by Augustus to Stradivari, and the King's determination to have it executed, throws a strong side-light on the lofty position held by Stradivari as a maker of Violins. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators It is therefore evident that the belief of the Marquis that Stradivari would receive further orders from the Grand Duke was realised. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The genius of Stradivari could not but be true to itself. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The work of the sons of Stradivari is less known, but it is as characteristic as that of Bergonzi, and quite as distinct from that of their father, if not more so. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In no part of his work does Stradivari show more clearly the result of careful calculation after closely studying the work of his master and others that had gone before. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Stradivari worked on the ground floor, and used the upper storey for varnishing. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators It was about the year 1700 when Stradivari entered upon a new era in his art. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators They will be astonished to hear that "Stradivari" forms the Christian name of some Englishmen. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Many of the later works of Antonio Stradivari have been attributed to his sons. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The foregoing is perhaps enough to indicate whether or not the secret of Stradivari, or indeed any of the other Italian masters, great or small, had been discovered by caliper measurement. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Learning his art in Italy, and, it is said, under Stradivari, he brought to bear a knowledge superior to that possessed by the makers mentioned above. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators It is my firm conviction that these great makers had certain guiding principles as regards the nature and qualities of the wood they used, and that Stradivari, in particular, made the subject a special study. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators He has made a very large number of copies of Stradivari and Guarneri, chiefly of the former, which are also the best. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators There is a resemblance to the instruments of Stradivari after 1732 in form, though not in workmanship, and he would therefore seem to have copied those late instruments. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators WE may now refer to actual observation or close examination of Stradivari's work with reference to the question of system, whether there is evidence of its presence and how followed by him. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z His form was not a borrowed one; it is as original as that of Stradivari—a fact which makes it more than ever unintelligible that he should have been content with it. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The chief merits of Stradivari and his contemporary makers were intuitive. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The fame of His Majesty Antonio Stradivari himself is not greater than that of Richard Duke in the eyes of many a Fiddle fancier. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators From his earliest fiddling days the name of Duke became familiar to him; he has heard more of him than of Stradivari, whom he somehow confuses with Cremona. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Under these circumstances we should expect to find a variation in the thicknesses of different violins of Stradivari, which is in accordance with fact. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z He fondly imagines that Cremona was a celebrated maker, and Stradivari something else; inquires, and becomes more confused, and returns again to "Duke," with whom he is thoroughly at home. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The blowing of trumpets, the beating of drums, and other martial sounds, would be music not likely to touch pleasantly the ears of Stradivari, apart from the discomfort attendant on military occupation. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The copies of Stradivari by Jacob Fendt are among his best efforts. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The MS. is dated 1720, and includes a most interesting account of the patronage enjoyed by Antonio Stradivari, together with several items of information of more or less worth, relative to the famous Violin-maker. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators All references to peculiarities in connection with Stradivari's designs, construction and purposes should be the result of my own personal observation during many years of experience as connoisseur and expert. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z But as these Violins are noticed under the head of "Stradivari," it is unnecessary to enter into details here. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The condition of affairs at Cremona at this period apparently serves to explain the cause of Stradivari having been dissuaded from presenting the instruments. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Said to have been a pupil of Stradivari, which is probable. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In other instances the beautiful scroll of Stradivari has been recognised on the body of an Amati, or the sound-hole has shown that it was cut by the hand of Stradivari. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators We have thus five sons of Stradivari, who, if they were all taught the art, may have been working together, besides other assistants at the same time. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z The famous shop, as previously noticed, was next opened by Paolo Stradivari, who was a cloth merchant or warehouseman. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators "In the year 1707, the Marquis Desiderio Cleri wrote to Stradivari, by order of King Charles III. of Spain, from Barcelona, ordering for the royal orchestra six Violins, two Tenors, and one Violoncello." The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators There are a few of his instruments which are on the model of Stradivari, and are highly valued in Germany. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In Italy there is no Stradivari in embryo, in France no coming Lupot, in Germany no Jacob Stainer, and in England no future Banks or Forster. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators In like manner Stradivari, like other masters before him, knew that his handiwork would be scrutinised as well as the tone of his instruments. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Among the Stradivari Violins which Mr. Fountaine possessed was that which he purchased from M. Habeneck, the famous professor at the Paris Conservatoire in the early part of the nineteenth century. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Veracini, it may be assumed, saw, heard, and played upon these comparatively new Stradivari Violins. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Pursuing my delightful occupation, I opened another case, the contents of which put the rest completely in the shade—here rested the Stradivari, date 1715, the gem of the collection. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators There is a comfortable reserve of tone in the Stradivari, and it bears pressure; and you may draw upon it for almost as much tone as you please. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Antonio Stradivari would in no wise act thus at any time. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z He found it necessary to prepare himself by reading all about Fiddles in the encyclopædias, &c., and having got the names of Stradivari, Amati, &c., glibly on his tongue, got swimmingly through his case. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators I need only ask the unbiassed connoisseur if he can reconcile one of these instruments with those of Stradivari of the period named. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators The owner of the Stradivari becoming wearied with this state of things, determined to carry off his cherished instrument in its dismembered condition. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators Leaving this instrument, we will follow the history of the Stradivari, date 1710. The Violin Its Famous Makers and Their Imitators A fine Stradivari much worn still retains its air of distinction, and very much of its material must have disappeared under bad treatment to make it beyond recognition almost at a glance. Antonio Stradivari 2011-06-28T02:00:11.050Z Sixteen years after this event the purchaser applied to me for a Stradivari scroll, that he might make his instrument complete.
