One of the two famous schools of violin making is cremona violin making school represented by Amati and his son. The other school is the Brescia Piano School represented by Gasparo of Salo (1540 ~ 1609) and his student G.P. Magney. Historians have different opinions about the origin of the violin, some from North Africa, some from India and some from Western Europe. There is a legend: 5000 years ago, there was a Sri Lankan monarch named Rivana. He hollowed out the cylindrical wood and made it into an instrument very similar to our erhu, called Lavana stron. In the long history, Rivana Sterlon has spread all over the world by trade and is the originator of violin. But according to historical records, the earliest violin was made by a man named Dasaro, who lived in the northern Italian town of Brescia (Gasparodasalo1542-1609). But in the same period, A. Amati (Andrea 520-1580) in cremona, Grimon also made a violin more similar to the modern violin. From16th century to18th century, the Italian violin manufacturing industry developed rapidly with the unprecedented prosperity of music art, and four outstanding masters appeared: McKinney, Amati, stradivari and Claudio. /kloc-after the 0/8th century, the violin manufacturing industry all over the world imitated the piano type and size of these violin makers in Italy to make violins. In the past hundred years, the structure of the violin has not changed much. In this sense, Italy is the hometown of violin. Violins made by Marchini, Amati, stradivari and Claudio Neri have become rare treasures and masterpieces.

The earliest modern violin was produced in the middle of16th century, when many treasures were still kept in some European museums. The origin of violin can be traced back to the Egyptian musical instrument "lyre" more than 2000 years ago. /kloc-In the 5th century, the Italians transformed it into a bow with a ponytail and named it the violin. After years of evolution, the formation and production of the violin are basically stereotyped.

Modern violin has been familiar to people since about 1550. It evolved from the popular musical instruments Rebeck and armtillyla. Generally speaking, viol, the predecessor of violin, has no decisive influence on the formation of modern violin in terms of structure, tuning and playing skills. It is generally believed that Milan, Venezia, Brescia and cremona in northern Italy are the cradles of violins. /kloc-In the late 6th century, two famous schools of violin manufacturing appeared in Italy. One is cremona violin making school represented by Amati and his son. The other school is the Brescia Piano School represented by Gasparo of Salo (1540 ~ 1609) and his student Maggini. The violins made in these two schools have their own characteristics. Hundreds of years later, they are still excellent treasures.

1650 ~ 1750 is the golden age of violin making, and many famous violin makers have appeared, such as Amati and Steiner, as well as stradivari and Genelli, who are considered as the most outstanding producers. Amati's violin front panel and back panel have large radians and good sound quality. It is used to play chamber music, just like a bright soprano. /kloc-In the late 8th century, Viotti praised stradivari. After Viotti's teachers, Pugnani and Paganini, loved Guarneri, the works of these two piano master were appreciated and gained great fame. Stradivari and Guarnery have the sound transmission power needed to play concertos in the hall. After18th century, the dominant position of violin manufacturing industry shifted from Italy to France. During this period, the shape of the violin has been continuously improved, and greater volume and better sound quality have been achieved. French piano manufacturer n? 6? 1 Lv Bo (1758 ~ 1824) takes stradivari as a model, combining French piano-making technology with Italian piano-making technology. At the same time, the French F? 6? 1 Turt (1747 ~ 1835) carried out major reforms on the length, weight, shape and device of the bow around 1785. The development of violin in this period reflects J? 6? 1 Haydn, w? 6? 1A？ 6? 1 Mozart and l 6? 1 All the singing in Beethoven's works, as well as the great changes in the bow, require violin performance.

1789- 1799 After the French Revolution, with the decline of the nobility and the royal family, music also moved from the palace to the folk, and symphony orchestras and concert halls appeared to serve the public. In order to adapt to the change of environment, the violin needs to increase its volume. From the end of 18 century to the beginning of 19 century, the neck of the violin became longer and thinner, and it tilted backward: the fingerboard became longer; Bridges and horses have become taller and more radian; The G string has been wrapped with silver thread. The purpose of these changes is to adapt to greater tension. The increase of strings increases the pressure on the piano surface, so the bass beam becomes longer and thicker, and the sound column becomes thicker, thus obtaining a louder and more powerful sound. L 1820? 6? 1 Spoel invented the chin rest, completely freeing his left hand from the role of playing the piano. The setting of the chin rest makes it easier for the left hand to change handles, pinch strings and press strings.

At the end of 18, conservatories of music appeared in Europe, which greatly increased the demand for violins, thus promoting the development of the mechanism piano industry. Milcu in France and Mittenwald in Germany are places where violins are produced in large quantities. J of France? 6? 1-B？ 6? 1 viyom is a famous figure in piano manufacturing in the19th century.

Viyom hired some workers to make violins under his guidance and sell them in his name. He collected many high-quality pianos lost in private hands from all over the world and gave them to performers, collectors or museums.

Bach, a great German composer in Baroque period, wrote six works without violin accompaniment in 1720: three sonatas and three ancient suites, which are the essence of violin solo. Today, friends are invited to enjoy Bach's Prelude in E Major, which is selected from his third Kubinashi accompaniment suite and recorded by the outstanding violinist Yitzhak Paellmann in the 20th century at 1988. It uses the Guanelli-Sugar violin made by 1740.

Western violins were introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty (about 1920s). In the early years of the Republic of China, school music education rose and people became interested in foreign music. Since 1920s, world-famous violin masters have performed in China one after another, inspiring many young people who love music to learn violin, and then music colleges have been established in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fujian and other places. Many high-level violinists came to work in China, and at the same time, they also trained many teachers and performers from China, such as Ma Sicong, Liu Tianhua, Xian Xinghai and Li. Since this period, many violin playing methods have been published and translated, and some composers have created many classic Chinese violin works, such as Butterfly Lovers and Morning in Miao Ling, all of which were created by Mr. Chen Gang, a professor at Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Since 1980, a group of young violinists trained in China have won prizes in many international competitions, among which Hu Kun is the first. He studied under Professor Lin Yaoji of the Central Conservatory of Music and won the fifth place in the International Violin Competition held in sibelius, Finland. Please enjoy his 1999 performance "Morning in Miao Ling", which was adapted by Chen Gang according to Miao Di's solo. Hu Kun now teaches at the Mei Niuyin Conservatory of Music and the Royal Conservatory of Music. He used a violin made by 1734.

In recent years, China enjoys an international reputation in violin manufacturing. The red cotton violin made by Chen of Guangzhou Musical Instrument Factory won the "Gold Medal of Sound Quality" in the 4th American International Violin Making Competition 1980. The violin made by Dai Hongxiang from Beijing Violin Factory won the "Gold Medal of Sound Quality" in the Spoel International Violin Making Competition held in Kassel, Federal Republic of Germany in 1983.
