RE: The Piccolo Violin: A forgotten instrument
I have a good collection of instuments, but Violin (or any versions of it) is one instrument I haven't really played, but I'm fascinated with the history of music and found your post very interesting!!
There is a lot in the history of music that has been wilfully forgotten, partly due to musicians being more interested in the intuitive creation of art as opposed to questioning how we arrived at the traditions that bind and define our intuition.
It is strange to think that it is only a recent idea that we should revisit the older music with appropriate context, rather than the modern Classical tradions of the symphonic orchestras!
