Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Why
centuries-old Stradivari violins smash auction records
Antonio
Stradivari (1644-1737) lived in nearly the same period as Johann Sebastian Bach
(1685-1750). He was an Italian a craftsman of stringed instruments such as
violins, cellos, guitars, violas and harps. His instruments have been appraised
by prominent players of those instruments for years and regarded the most valuable
musical instruments in auctions. In fact, the prices of his good works are
expected to double every decade.
Why are they
so appreciated? Aren’t there any violins sound as good or deep as his works? Isn’t
that the same admiration people have had for Bach or Van Gogh?
Enjoy reading
and thinking if you can hear the difference between his and others.
