The literature department met on last
Tuesday afternoon in Sedgwick Music
hall The discussion of current events
preceding the regular program covered an
interesting range Of topics.
Owing to the unusual interest in violin
music this winter in Wichita, a short
sketch was given of the early schools or
violin makers. The rise of the set was
coincident with the foodtide of the Re
naissance period in Italy, and the first
instrument that approached the violin as
we know it was made by Gasparo da Salo
of Brescia, Italy, who lived between 1912
and 1910. it must be remem bered that the
schools of violins are as distinct as the
schools of painting, and are characterized
by differences in construction, shape
wood and varnish. About the time that
Da Sale was working in Brescia with his
famous pupil Maggini. another Italian,
Andrea Amoti. began the same work in
Cremona and so founded the world-re-
nowned Cremona school. His two sons
continued his work. who were in turn
succeeded by his SransOn, Nicalo Amati,
the most famous of the group, and who
originated those wonderful violins known
as the ''Amati grands."
Nicalo Amati was the teacher Of Anto-
Mo Stradivari called the king of violin
makers, and whose instruments today are
the grandest and most exquisite in tone
and the most valuable viOlins in the
world. Joachim says Stradivari
seems to have given a soul that speaks
and a heart that beats to his violins. "
Stradivari was horn in 1914. and lived 10
he was tremendously active and indus
trious man. and remained on his work
bench until the last.
While Stradivari was in the workshop
Of Nical0 Amati, one of his fellow stu
dents was Andrea Guarnerius. who
founded the celebrated school of that
name its greatest representative being
Joseph Guarnerius, whose noble instru-
ments rank him among the greatest
| luthiers of the Italian schools.
Oliver Wendell Holmes writes a beauti-
| full prose poem about the tone possibili-
ties of fine old violin:
The sweet old Amati-the divine Strad-
| ivarius-Its pores fun of music: stained
| like the meerschaum, through and
! through. with the hue and sweetness OF
all the harmonies which have kindled and
| faded on its strings"
The study proper for the afternoon
