A look at the luthiers and players of Venice between 1750 and 1870 and how the two influenced each other. The book draws on a huge amount of new research about the famous makers as well as the lesser-known ones, coming up with new and surprising conclusions about, among others, Montagnana, Deconet and Gagatella. Each maker is represented by full-page colour photographs and there are also illustrations of Venetian art and architecture of the time, to put the instruments in context.
Hardback. 403pp. Colour photographs
