The art of violin playing has existed for 300 years. Violinists can be categorized in many ways: by nationality, birth date, national "school" pedagogical lineage, or even alphabetically.
The violin virtuosos in this course will be presented by birth date, as well as in the historical perspective of women violinists, and in the historical lineage of two groups of American and Russian violinists. The outstanding young Asian violinists at the end of 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century also will be mentioned briefly in this study.
