Written by a composer and a musician, The Contemporary Violin
offers a unique menu of avant-garde musical possibilities that both
performers and composers will enjoy exploring. Allen and Patricia
Strange's comprehensive study critically examines extended
performance techniques found in the violin literature of the latter
half of the twentieth century. Drawing from both published and
private manuscripts, the authors present extended performance
options for the acoustic, modified, electric, and MIDI violin, with
signal processing and computer-related techniques, and include more
than 400 notated examples. The authors begin with bowing techniques
and proceed systematically through other aspects of string playing,
including MIDI technologies. Their correspondence and research with
many performers and composers, the book's extensive score and text
bibliography, and the discography of more than 130 recordings make
The Contemporary Violin a valuable contemporary music reference and
guide. An additional benefit is its listing of Internet resources
that will keep the reader up to date with recent developments in
contemporary performance and composition. First published by UC
Press, 2001.
