| Abstract | The instrument we know today developed from the 'bass violin' and came into general use in the seventeenth century. Through her research of performers and teachers, from Boccherini and Romberg to Casala and Jacqueline du Pre, the author presents a rich picture of traditions handed down the generations and developed internationally, and recreates the magic of the greatest cellists in history. |
