Which country did the violin originate from?

Violin is a bowstring instrument in western instruments, generally called stringed instrument. The violin is a perfect solo instrument. Beautiful timbre, wide range and rich expression. It can not only play melodies, but also powerful chords, which is gorgeous and charming, so people called it the "queen" of western musical instruments long ago. In symphony orchestras, it is often used as a main melody instrument, which plays a very prominent role. It is also often used for various ensembles, accompaniment and mixed use with China national musical instruments. Historians have different opinions about the origin of the violin, some from North Africa, some from India, some from Western Europe and so on. There is a legend: 5000 years ago, there was a Sri Lankan monarch named Rivana. He hollowed out the cylindrical wood and made it into an instrument very similar to our erhu, called Lavana stron. In the long history, Rivana Sterlon has spread all over the world by trade and is the originator of violin. But according to historical records, the earliest violin was made by a man named Dasaro, who lived in the northern Italian town of Brescia (Gasparo da Saro1542-1609). But in the same period, A. Amati (Andrea 520-1580) in cremona, Grimon also made a violin more similar to the modern violin. From16th century to18th century, the Italian violin manufacturing industry developed rapidly with the unprecedented prosperity of music art, and four outstanding masters, G.P. McKinney, N. Amati, A. stradivari and C. Claudio, appeared successively. /kloc-after the 0/8th century, the violin manufacturing industry all over the world imitated the piano type and size of these violin makers in Italy to make violins. In the past hundred years, the structure of the violin has not changed much. In this sense, Italy is the hometown of violin. Violins made by Marchini, Amati, stradivari and Claudio Neri have become rare treasures and masterpieces. With the improvement of the violin level, there have been countless dedicated violin playing artists for hundreds of years, and Paganini, an outstanding Italian violinist and composer in the19th century, has highly developed the violin playing technology. His left-handed plucking, bowing, solo, double overtones, bow jumping and various double tones greatly developed the expressive force of the violin and influenced later pianos and other musical instruments. Under the direct influence of Paganini, Viotti, Klezer, Beriau, Viodang, Viniasky, Sarasate, Izai, Chrysler, Thibaugh, Spool, Joachim, Segeti, Freys, Enescu, Orr, Kafitz, Mei Niuyin, oistrakh, Stern and so on appeared, and these glittering violins played. In the ocean of violin music, the masterpieces of famous artists have left rich artistic enjoyment for future generations. The violin concertos of famous composers Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Tchaikovsky are known as the world's four major concertos, which still reverberate on the concert stage. Sarasate, a famous Spanish violinist, wrote Song of a Wanderer, which is a famous masterpiece. This piece of music is beautiful in melody, gorgeous in rhythm and colorful, which vividly shows the inner sadness and fiery personality of gypsy wandering people. The third paragraph of the music is muted, which is more quiet, sad and exciting. There are countless fascinating masterpieces in the vast amount of violin music works. However, all violin works can be roughly divided into three categories: the first category is the works created by violinists themselves, such as those of Paganini, wieniawski, Kleist and Sarasate. Most of these works are gaudy and difficult, but they all conform to the rules of violin playing and have good stage effect, which is the pearl of violin works; The second category is the works that composers cooperate with violinists. For example, the Concerto in E minor by the famous composer Mendelssohn was created for the famous violinist Ferdinand David at that time, and Brahms's Dazzling Concerto in D major was created for the violin master Joachim at that time. La Ro's Spanish Symphony was written for the famous violinist Sarasate. This kind of works is rich in music, technically conforms to the law of violin playing, and is an immortal masterpiece. The third category is the works written by the composer himself, such as Schumann's concerto, which is generally based on music content, but lacks the technical means of violin, so it is not easy to play. Another striking phenomenon is that whenever a great violinist appears, many composers write for it, thus making violin works prosperous. This is the case in history, and so is an oistrakh in the modern Soviet Union. When oistrakh rushed to the world music scene, famous composers such as prokofiev, Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Myaskovski, Leikauf and others specially created concertos or sonatas for him. And these works are still widely circulated all over the world. In a word, the continuous improvement of players' skills promotes the prosperity and development of violin works, and the appearance of highly skilled works promotes the continuous improvement of players' playing level. The violin has been introduced to China for nearly a hundred years, but a number of outstanding violinists and composers have emerged in China. Master Ma Sicong is very representative. As early as the 1930s, he was well known. His homesickness song, written in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, expressed his yearning for his relatives in his hometown. The desire to go home in the melody caused emotional ripples in people's hearts. Arouse people's strong hatred for the invaders who ravaged their homes. This is a masterpiece among China's musical works, which is enduring for a long time. It later became the prelude of China National Radio's broadcasting to Taiwan Province Province. Butterfly lovers, a violin concerto, is widely spread, which shows China people's love for violin art. butterfly lovers, an internationally influential violin work, is very popular not only in Chinese mainland, but also in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asia, and is also played from time to time in some concert stages in Europe and America. In the past 20 years, there are still a large number of outstanding young violinists in China, who have won huge prizes in major international violin playing competitions. Hu Kun, Lv Siqing, Wang Xiaodong, Zhang Le, Xue Wei, Qi Ming, Liu Yang, Lu Wei, Li Zhisheng and Pan Yiqiong all won glory for their country, which shows that China's violin playing art has reached the international level. China's violin manufacturing industry often wins prizes in international production competitions. Chen from Guangdong Musical Instrument Factory and Dai Hongxiang from Beijing Violin Factory were the first masters to win the gold medal in sound quality in the international violin making competition. The pianos and bows made by masters of the older generation, such as Xu Fu, Liang, Chen Yi and Horne, often win good places in violin making competitions at home and abroad. Recently, the violin made by rising star Zhu Mingjiang won two gold medals in American competitions, which is extremely rare.
