The author's aim is to popularise the violinist's general instruction, which is so useful in practice. Such is Henri Vercheval's definition of his book, which deals in a general and detailed manner with the elements that make up the art of playing the violin, its formation as a work of violin making and all the technical expressions that go with it. At the end of the book, the author lists famous violinists from the origins of the violin to the nineteenth century, as well as violin makers and bow makers.
