About This Item

Augsburg, gedruckt und zu finde ben Johan Jacob Lotter und Sohn, Buchbrucker und Musickalien Verleger, 1800. Small 4to, pp. [vi], 268 [269 - 276 index], engraved frontispiece, three full-page engraved plates, folding engraved plate of music at end, contemporary marbled boards, paper label on spine; repairs to folding plate, engraved frontispiece rather faint, but other plates fine, occasional spotting and staining, but otherwise a very good copy. Leopold Mozart (1719 - 1787) published this in a propitious year for music and music-lovers, 1756, the year of his son's birth. It was republished several times (a second edition appeared in 1770, a third in 1787, and a further edition in 1791), translated into other languages, and became a standard text on the subject of violin playing. In a paper published by the American Mozart Society, Thomas Irvine argues that, "Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule (1756) is more than a mirror of eighteenth-century violin playing. In this paper I will argue that Mozart's Versuch documents a struggle between two competing models of musical communication, one based on a general semiotics of affect and another based on specific individual responses to music. The conflict between the two is the conflict between rationalist, systematic thinking and what Panajotis Kondylis has called the eighteenth century's 'rehabilitation of the sensual.'" RISM B/VI/2 p. 601.
