Frederick Martens spent his life writing and arranging music and interviewing the most prominent symphonic masters of his time. His History of Music (written with Paul Landormy in 1927) is one of the touchstone books of twentieth century music scholarship, and his original publication of Violin Mastery in 1919 has given violinists everywhere an invaluable resource in the art and craft of symphonic and ensemble playing.
