    3119 A STUDY OF STYLE AND INFLUENCE IN THE EARLY SCHOOLS OF VIOLIN MAKING CIRCA 1540 TO CIRCA 1800 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Allison A. Alcorn, B.Mus. Denton, Texas December, 1987 Alcorn, Allison A., A Study of Style and Influence in the Ear School of Violin Making circa 1540 to circa 1800. Master of Music (Musicology), December 1987, 172 pp., 2 tables, 31 figures, bibliography, 52 titles. Chapter I of this thesis details contemporary historical views on the origins of the violin and its terminology. Chapters II through VI study the methodologies of makers from Italy, the Germanic Countries, the Low Countries, France, and England, and highlights the aspects of these methodologies that show influence from one maker to another. Chapter VII deals with matters of imitation, copying, violin forgery and the differences between these categories. Chapter VIII presents a discussion of the manner in which various violin experts identify the maker of a violin. It briefly discusses a new movement that questions the current methods of authenti- cation, proposing that the dual role of "expert/dealer" does not lend itself to sufficient objectivity. The conclusion suggests that dealers, experts, curators, and musicologists alike must return to placing the first emphasis on the tra- dition of the craft rather than on the individual maker. o Copyright by Allison A.

To the consciousness Abstract The stratigraphy of historical bowed string musical instruments is a complex and heterogeneous system composed of multiple varnish layers coated on previously treated wood. The entire coating system, collectively called wood finish, is representative of the instrument makers’ working techniques. However, the extended use of the instruments by the musicians as well as the restoration interventions over the centuries could have altered it in terms of layer thickness and composition. Moreover, sampling is rarely feasible because of the need to preserve the value and the integrity of these precious artefacts. In this thesis, we first evaluated potential and limits of a suite of non-invasive spectroscopic and optical imaging techniques in the study of wood finish systems of laboratory mock-ups. Reflection FTIR spectroscopy, XRF, Raman spectroscopy and OCT were applied to the mock-ups by means of portable instrumentation. This non- invasive methodology was supported by SEM-EDX and ATR micro-FTIR analyses.

    In partnership with: Sponsored by: Val di Fiemme We are in the hillside forest of the Fiemme Valley in Italy, in Il Bosco che Suona (“The Musical Woods”). It was from this forest that the early masters—including Andrea Amati and Antonio Stradivari—sourced the materials for their craft. A hand knocks on the side of a tree. The sound resounds. The tree is strong, yet flexible enough to live a second life in music. The wood from these trees is transported down the river and ends its journey at the small Italian walled city of Cremona, the so-called city of the violin. There, in a woodworker’s workshop, the master luthier taps a hand against a block of wood. To hear its ringing sound is to hear the start of our story...
