Features: This is a course designed for violin majors. It covers approximately three hours of violin and the art history of this string family. The purpose of the course is to give students a historical understanding of the performance and creation of string music. There is a significant difference between having this understanding and lacking it. If one can approach a work by considering the historical context in which it was created, its historical characteristics, the composer's spiritual world, and especially his aesthetic beliefs, then the true essence of the work can be vividly expressed, fulfilling the mission of this re-creation through performance.
