The Journeys of Violin Handbooks to the Slovenian Lands and their Interactions in the Eighteenth Century

Abstract

Violin treatises solely devoted to violin technique first appeared at the end of the seventeenth century. Up to 1750, at least, most of them were intended for amateurs. In the Slovenian lands they started to appear in the second half of the eighteenth century and were used primarily by orchestral performers.
