Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest It consists in essence of a hollow, varnished wooden sound box, or resonator, and a long neck covered with a fingerboard, along which four strings are stretched at high tension The beauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident The proportions of the instrument are determined almost entirely by acoustical considerations Its simplicity of appearance is deceptive About 70 parts are involved in the construction of a violin Its tone and its outstanding range of expressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument No less important, however, is its role as an orchestral and chamber instrument In combination with the larger and deeper-sounding members of the same family, the violins form the nucleus of the modern symphony orchestra

The violin has been in existence since about 1550 Its importance as an instrument in its own

right dates from the early 1600’s, when it first became standard in Italian opera orchestras Its stature

as an orchestral instrument was raised further when in 1626 Louis XIII of France established at his

court the orchestra known as Les vinq-quatre violons du Roy (The King’s 24 Violins), which was to

become widely famous later in the century

In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were think and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as

Vivaldi and Tartini Their instrumental compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant

tone that was produced by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension Small changes had to be

made to the violin’s internal structure and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra

strain Accordingly, a higher standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation Left-hand technique was considerably elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very high notes

world

B The violin has been modified to fit its evolving musical functions.

C The violin had reached the hight of its popularity by the middle of the eighteenth century.

Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them tro try it, and tries to keep them loyal to it Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising Whether they produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated

Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old?
