Description

The nineteenth century saw developments in the composition, performance and reception of classical music that led to an unprecedented shift in how the violin was appreciated. By 1880, London had supplanted Paris as the centre of the international violin trade. W.E. Hill & Sons emerged as a major presence in both the local musical community and the global violin market. Their story illuminates this first study of the violin's journey from simple musical instrument to mystified work of art.
