Discover the "Vieux Paris"
A new book, rich in information and iconography about the Parisian violin
makers in the XVIIIth Century.
A very interesting book on the
parisian violin makers in the XVIIIth century is now available ! Violin makers,
violinists and people who love the violin will be delighted to have this
book... The Parisian musicologist Sylvette Milliot has written for the Belgium
publisher "Les Amis de la musique" the history of violin making in
Paris from the XVIIIth century to 1960.
There will be four volumes
in this interesting collection. The first volume of this history was dedicated
to the Chanot-Chardon Family. This work has created a keen interest among a
large public. Here, now, is the second volume, about the Parisian school in the
XVIIIth century.
The
author has already written a book about this subject which was published in
1970, and is now out of print. In contrast to this earlier publication, this
new book is a much larger study of the matter. It contains a vast amount of new
unknown documents provided from the French National Archives, numerous
illustrations and paintings of the time.
One will find in this book
the history of 25 violin makers : Bertrand, Salomon, Guersan, Pierray, Boquay,
Renaudin... Till now, more was known about their instruments than their lives. From
now on, these men will have nothing hidden from us ! Here is an important book
to discover the makers of "Siècle des Lumières" in Paris, their lives
and their instruments.
Sylvette
Milliot's work is the first major study on this period. This new book is rich
in information, often inedit, and in iconography (about 300 photographs of
violins, cellos, viols, bows, harps, hurdy-gurdies...).
Here is the most documented
and the most illustrated work on the activity of the "Vieux Paris".
"Here at last is a
work about French violin making ! This book fills a gap and will enchant all
violin makers, collectors, connoisseurs, experts, musicians and historians..."
writes, in the preface, the well-known Parisian violin maker, Etienne Vatelot.
