Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest. It consists in essence of a hollow, varnished wooden sound o", or resonator, and a long neck covered with a finger oard, along which four strings are stretched at high tension. !he eauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident) the proportions of the instrument are determined almost entirely y acoustical considerations. Its simplicity of appearance is deceptive. # out '- parts are involved in the construction of a violin. Its tone and its outstanding range of e"pressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument. 4o less important, however, is its role as an orchestral and cham er instrument. In com ination with the larger and deeper7sounding mem ers of the same family, the violins form the nucleus of the modern symphony orchestra. !he violin has een in e"istence since a out %::-.

Gouis HIII of 0rance esta lished at his court the orchestra known as Ges vin/7/uatre violons du Ioy ;#$e %in &s 24 'iolins=, which was to ecome widely famous later in the century. In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather /uiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were thick and were attached to the ody of the instrument very loosely. 1uring the eighteenth and nineteenth century, e"citing technical changes were inspired y such composer7violinists as 'i(aldi and #a"tini. !heir instrumental compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more rilliant tone that was produced y using thinner strings and a far higher string tension. .mall changes had to e made to the violinFs internal structure and to the finger oard so that t$e! could withstand the e"tra st"ain. Acco"din l!, a higher standard of performance was achieved, in terms of oth facility and interpretation. Geft7hand techni/ue was considera ly ela orated, and new fingering patterns on the finger oard were developed for very high notes. Question 44: !he word Jstanda"dJ is closest in meaning to _________.

Bities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. .ome functions result directly from the in enuit! of the citi3enry, ut most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland ;the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods=. Meographers often make a distinction etween the situation and the site of a city. .ituation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves in physical characteristics of the specific location. .ituation is normally much more important to the continuing prosperity of a city. If a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue. Bhicago, for e"ample, possesses an almost unparalleled situation) it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces Dast7West transportation lines to e compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world*s finest large farming regions. !hese factors ensured that Bhicago would ecome a great city regardless of the disadvantageous c$a"acte"istics of the availa le site, such as eing prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity. .imilarly, it can e argued that much of 4ew 6ork Bity*s importance stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation. Lhiladelphia and @oston oth originated at a out the same time as 4ew 6ork and shared 4ew 6ork*s location at the Western end of one of the world*s most important oceanic trade routes, ut only 4ew 6ork possesses an easy7access *unctional connection ;the Hudson7Mohawk lowland= to the vast Midwestern hinterland. !his account does not alone e"plain 4ew 6ork*s primacy, ut it does include several important factors. #mong the many aspects of situation that help to e"plain why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a naviga le waterway seems particularly applica le. Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical characteristics help to determine city location, ut such factors are normally more significant in early stages of city development than later.
