英语词汇stradivarius的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Stradivarius. When the Lady Blunt Stradivarius (1721) was auctioned off at Sotheby’s in London for $200,000, it was the highest price ever paid for a musical instrument. Yet this vio- lin is not considered to be the finest one made by Antonio Stradivari, that honor usually accorded to the Messiah, or the Alard Stradivarius. Amazingly, some 600 of the 1,100 or so vi- olins, violas, and cellos made by Stradivari from 1666 to 1737 still survive today, half of them in the United States—a tribute to the master craftsman’s genius. Only the barest essentials are known about the supreme Italian violin maker. Born at Cre- mona in northern Italy in 1644, he was an apprentice of the distinguished craftsman Niccolò Amati, but he soon devel- oped his own methods, in 1684 opening a shop where his sons Francesco and Omobono worked with him. Stradivari was fa- mous in his own time, his commissions including instruments for England’s James II and Spain’s Charles III. He died in 1737, aged 93, and to this day his secrets of success have not been discovered.
