	The Baroque German Violin Bow: A Lost Art
		These two musical styles were reflected in the violin bows.
		Bach’s solo violin sonatas and partitas would benefit particularly from the use of a proper German bow, especially in the wonderful chaconne from the Partita 2 in d-minor BWV 1004, where the alternation between single-line melody and chordal harmony is such an important feature of the musical structure.
		But look closely at the baroque lady playing the violin in our headline illustration - the bow is convex-arched well away from the bow strings, and her thumb is placed under the bow strings.

	Chee-Yun - Violin Sonatas
		In the repertoire of a violin soloist the most important musical forms are the concerto with orchestra and the sonata for violin and piano.
		Beethoven, a transitional figure between the Classical and Romantic styles, standardized the sonata for violin and piano as a composition in three or four movements in which the two performers are more or less equal collaborators.
		In a sonata with piano the violinist is more exposed, and while he or she does not have to compete with a whole orchestra for the attention of the audience, the violinist carries a greater interpretive responsibility.

	Another Countryman Takes Up the Cause of Szymanowski - New York Times
		A world and a lifetime away are the gentler curves and easygoing beauties of "Lady in the Dark," from 1940, emblematic of a Central European's courageous and total immersion in the musical styles of Broadway and its great composers of the 1930's.
		Though not widely known, his music continues to surface: his opera "Agamemnon" in a concert performance at Carnegie Hall last year, his violin sonata at Bargemusic this month.

	Mozart: Masonry & Madness in Vienna
		He had perfect pitch, could improvise in all kinds of musical styles, taught himself to play the violin, and could compose without needing to write down a note.
		His music — hundreds of individual pieces for every instrument or musical group imaginable — is frequently used today in television shows and advertisements, thus always remaining in the forefront of the minds of people who otherwise wouldn't listen to classical music.
		It is just as plausible that the enemies of the Masons, or a rival group of Masons who believed in the absolute sacred secrecy of their order, could have sought to destroy the young composer.

	Bemanistyle (dot) Com -[Six Point Zero]-
		Banya's refined influences again bring them back to the ever-popular compositions of Amadeus Mozart, and this kicking techno/violin/piano creation is at once a fitting tribute and an intensely moving techno piece in its own right.
		The album showcases both some of the group's most well known older songs, and their varied styles of new productions; the vocal of which are, for the first time, all in English.
		Banya's guitar work takes the originally mellow composition a few notches above the typical variety though, and adds in some nice intense rhymed singing to go with it, delivering a tale of romantic obsession that might even be called inspirational.

		Having used the Rhythmicon in several compositions Cowell became more interested in ethnic musical styles and the instrument was placed in storage.
		The Rhythmicon is an electronic musical instrument capable of transforming harmonic data into rhythmic data and vice versa.

	The Maccann Duet Concertina: A Personal Guide and Reference Library
		Maccann Duet concertinas combine many of the advantages from both of two earlier types (called “English concertinas” and “Anglo concertinas”) and can be played in the style of either of those as well as in many additional musical styles, either by ear or from music notation.
		Despite the fact that the earliest “English” concertinas were intended to play only a single musical part, much like a violin, they were very popular in parlour ensembles and became something of a fashionable craze in the mid-1850s.
		Concertinas are small and light (but loud) bellows-powered free-reed acoustic musical instruments invented by the English physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone about 1830 as a high-tech innovation in musical-instrument design.

	The Heaven Of Chinese Music
		This is mainly due to the unique sounds and playing styles of traditional Chinese musical instruments.
