Fabio Antonacci, Raffaele Malvermi: Vibroacoustic Characterization of Violins
The constructional aspects of bowed instruments and their vibratory and acoustic response are interconnected through a complex relationship, impossible to analyze precisely.
This session will feature instruments from the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, a period of transition in terms of technique. It will analyze how these instruments evolved, relating to the geometries of preceding centuries and subsequent decades, and observing how, on a macroscopic level, general relationships can be established.
The study day will include a listening test of the considered instruments and a brief questionnaire.
