Famous Violinists of Today and Yesterday Henry Charles Lahee 9781546695226 Books
This book discusses a great number of violinists in roughly chronological order, with some getting only a paragraph or two or three. I had been hoping for a book with in-depth articles on maybe a dozen or so violinists, with a separate chapter for each, but that was NOT what I found.There are individual chapters on Paganini and Joachim, but other chapters (except for a separate chapter on female violinists) were basically discussions of a series of violinists based on the time period they lived in. I am not a violinist, so the only names I recognized were Corelli, Paganini, Boulanger (did not know she was a violinist - but she is mentioned only in the chronological table anyway), Burmester and Spohr (because I had seen so much sheet music with Spohr's name). Nevertheless, the book is interesting reading because there are excerpts from performance reviews and there is information about rivalries and student/teacher relationships.
Late in the book there is a chronological list of violinists with their birth and death years (search the text for "chronological table"). The youngest violinist in this list was born in 1879 (Leonora Jackson). While this list is chronological, the index contains an alphabetical list.
Also, the index contains hyperlinks to the page numbers listed, and these links DO appear to work in this Kindle edition.
The chapter on female violinists is a bit chauvinistic, but hey, it was written in the 19th century so I'm happy they were discussed at all!

Famous Violinists of Today and Yesterday Henry Charles Lahee 9781546695226 Books Reviews
I bought this for $10 as an experiment to see if I liked the format and have reservations about whether I would do it again. The text appears to be clean and re-typed and it is given a nice paperback binding, but there are no images at all. For this particular book, it isn't too bad because there weren't many images anyway. But still, for a historic book, the pictures would have been nice. If you want the pictures and the original appearance of the text (which I thought I would be getting), you can download it free off of the internet, with a little searching, and have it bound at your local copy shop.
A good read for every violinist.
