kenjariThe Cambridge Companion to the Violin
edited by Robin Stowell
This book is very readable and quite informative, although readers who are not violinists might find the discussions of technique and performance practice a little tedious. It is a great examination of the instrument, its history, and its place in all sorts of music. I especially appreciated the thorough discussions of the repertoire and the chapters about the use of the violin outside the classical tradition and in jazz.
