Description
Cutout Violin with Bow Bookmark
The original painting of this bookmark is based on a violin on a door in the State Music Room at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England. It`s a trompe l`oeil (deceives the eye) and is one of the best-remembered treasures at Chatsworth. Painted by Jan van der Vaart (c. 1653-1727), it came from Devonshire House in Piccadilly and has been at Chatsworth for over 150 years.
The cutout shape makes a handy bookmark and is a great gift for music and opera lovers alike.
- Solid brass, electro-plated with gold finish, giclee print
- 3/4` W x 1” L
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
