Summary "Antonio Stradivari" by Horace Petherick is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and craftsmanship of the renowned violin maker Antonio Stradivari, exploring his influences, techniques, and the evolution of his distinctive designs. It offers readers insight into Stradivari's gradual development as a master liutaro and the factors that contributed to his lasting legacy in the world of music. The opening of the text introduces Stradivari's early life, including his birth in Cremona and his apprenticeship under the esteemed Nicolas Amati, a pivotal figure in his artistic development. Petherick emphasizes Stradivari's initial struggles and meticulous approach to creating violins, noting that his early works were marked by a steady pursuit of refinement rather than striking originality. He portrays Stradivari as a diligent craftsman who gradually carved out his own path, influenced by Amati but evolving into a master of his craft, ready to take on the challenges of establishing his distinct identity as a violin maker.
