Wiglengelug and Its History
Hunton August 10. The violoncello’s rise in social circles is traced from male virtuosi to a fashionable hobby among society women. The piece surveys instrument evolution from early fiddle family roots to the Stradivarius era, notes on copper cellos and bizarre historical specimens, and the changing stigma around women players in the 18th century drawing rooms. It cites figures like Baron de Palatitz, Duke Maurice, Olva Ragster, and Ann Ford, and mentions institutions such as the New England Conservatory of Music and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
