I haven't read through the whole thing, but speaking as a "mere" fiddle player, this looks like another great article, Jeff! When such a well-developed article appears after a single edit, however, I've got to ask: where did this come from? Were you working on it on your own computer, only to upload it all at once?

A few nits: spaces between the paragraphs need to be removed; and links need be added throughout. --Larry Sanger 06:13, 21 November 2007 (CST)

Thank you. I play the violin as well -- but not well, haha. Yes, when I write articles, I write the entire thing on my computer and then upload it all at once. It is easier for me this way, because as I write I keep going back and tweaking already written text as I continue to add new text; and this process is easiest if I write the entire thing on my own computer at first. This is how I wrote the long Shostakovich article, for example, as well.Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 07:23, 22 November 2007 (CST)

Alas, everyone, but writing this article has inspired me to write a book on the subject, so I will be pretty much busy during 2008, so won't be able to appear on CZ that much. It has been so much fun up to now, so I suppose I'll still pop in from time to time. Of course, I'll advertise CZ far and wide whenever I can. [P.S. I wrote this violin article in six days, including reading every book in my bibliography (we're talking about 3,000 pages or so). Yes, I work fast (and 15 hour days). Wee woo.] I'll try to pop in as much as I can, because everyone here is definitely Great.Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 10:13, 22 November 2007 (CST)

This sounds like a very good idea, and we should be proud that CZ has been a small part of the inspiration for a book. I am sure that the book will be excellent, judging from the articles you have written for us. There is no need to apologise for absence: you have contributed several great articles in an area where we had nothing. Good luck with your writing, and please look in from time to time! --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 10:32, 22 November 2007 (CST)
