Autorenporträt

Horace Petherick (1839-1919) was a British author and violin expert of some renown in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A man of varied interests and considerable expertise, Petherick was an aficionado of stringed instruments and published work that reflects his passion for violins. His most recognized contribution to literature is 'Antonio Stradivari' - a personal and evocative account of the life and craft of the legendary violin maker. In this text, Petherick's reverence for Stradivari's work is evident, providing readers with insights into the meticulous art of violin-making and the historical context of Stradivari's era. What distinguishes Petherick's literary style is his detailed and technical approach to the subject matter, simultaneously making his writings valuable to both experts in the field and enthusiastic amateurs of violin music and its history. His writings, while perhaps not as widely known in the mainstream as other works from the period, contribute valuable scholarship to the niche of musical instrument craftsmanship and the cultural heritage of violin-making. Petherick's legacy remains in his detailed examination and celebration of one of the most exquisite facets of classical music's material culture.
